Anyone notice pretty bad wind whistling noises due to the M4 style mirror caps? When going around 70-80mph, it's pretty loud and noticeable.

If anything, for mine, it kills wind buffeting. So I can cruise with one window down and not get that annoying wind pressure issues.

I ended up taking mine off. The clear coat peeled terribly in a short period of time. With all the CV19 stuff going on, I didn't bother trying to get a replacement. I might just color match them to the car at this point. Sadly, this was in very nice Cali weather lol.

Not talking about wind buffeting. When going at higher speeds, you can kind of hear a whistling sound from the mirror area with the windows up.

Only downside is we had heavy rain/wind down here a couple weeks ago, and while my mirrors were folded up, something nailed my driver's side, and I have a nice crack along the top edge. I just bought a house, so priorities aren't on replacing it at the moment.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/M4-Style-Re...72.m2749.l2649 UPDATE: Just looked and they're sold as-is, so no returns after damages/failure..ugh, at least they're only $99 and look great. Just too bad they don't last, but maybe I got a bad pair...?

In all seriousness, I dropped mine on the concrete floor and they were just a bit scratched up. I'd say they're pretty solid. Sounds like you just got unlucky.

Does anyone know where the heck to find the cap in the lower half of the image? The one in the upper half is NOT the one in the lower half (deceptive marketing smh), and I really want to find the second one. I can find plenty for pre-LCI, but not a single one for LCI.
Or I might just be totally losing it and they're actually the same item.

I have some good news for you, you are not losing it (yet) There are at least 2 different styles, see https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pair-Car-Re...6/264859698890 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/M-Style-Car...4AAOSwmY1dVRtk I think you want the 2nd one. I have the one in the first link and it looks good, I didn't see the need to spend $100 to get updated look, but I do like the 2nd one more. So maybe one day...

First style: Second style: The first style's main problem appears to be that the mold that makes the cap itself has a defect. The ones I originally received and posted about back on page 6 had the broken tabs, and all of the online photos on ebay and aliexpress all show the same broken tab, broken in the exact same way. I have no idea what the hell is going on with that, but given how the tabs appear broken in the same way, it's likely a damaged mold.

2nd one is definitely a more aggressive version and has more lines, but it also visually looks bulkier than the other. I'll post a few pictures tomorrow to illustrate this.
