Yes but the ones you linked don't mount the same to the mirror surround, I purchased a pair already and can confirm they will take a lot of work to fit correctly and with keeping the surround view camera

Got the real CF mirrors today (pretty fast!) and this is SIGNIFICANTLY nicer than the fake CF one. Of course, this should be expected if they cost twice as much. Bonus is that the CF wraps around nicely to the back of the "wing". Installed them last night and the fit is great. I like the shape of these more too.

Who'd you buy it from? I'd complain and try to get an exchange. Make sure to insist that they pay for shipping since it's not your fault the part has blemishes

I will say that the only thing I don't like about these mirror covers and I thought I would get use to it by now but it creates a blind spot between the mirror and the pillar. usually going around round-abouts and making right turns with islands. maybe it's just me but I use that small space to judge how far the curb is or what's there when turning. the way I took the picture is what I see so I tried to take the picture as a POV

I received mine finally and got them installed. The finish on mine was excellent, and the fit was perfect. but as I previously mentioned I was waffling on whether I should get black or carbon fiber. judging from other pictures I'm glad I didn't order there black but I'm not happy with the carbon fiber. The reason for that is that I have the dark gray and in the sunlight it's just enough different to make it look a little awkward. I'm sure on any other color it works fine but I'm just OCD enough that it bothers me LOL. that being said I'm going to order some 3M wrap in gloss black and just change it that way. I'll post pictures when I can, but I would totally recommend this to anybody.

Anyone in the Los Angeles area interested in the set I originally got for $40? It was on my car for no more than 2 or 3 days. $20 picked up. I don't have time to deal with shipping.
Also, having these mirrors made me feel like I needed to have some CF on the front of the car too. So I got some CF splitters. Hard to see on a carbon black car, but I like that it's more subtle.

I purchased the same mirror caps as you. Arrived today, went to install them. Returning them as there are some issues with them. 1. They're almost double the thickness of the OEM ones. This causes them to not sit flush at the bottom. It's the same thing on both sides. I've really tried pushing them in, but it's not happening. 2. Tabs were broken upon arrival. This is the main reason I'm returning them (also happens to get me free return shipping since it was DOA, which is a nice bonus), as I think the missing tabs are contributing to the sticking out of the bottom half. If you look closely, you can see that the OEM cap has two "fingers" that hook onto a metal tab on the mirror assembly. Both caps that I received had their tabs... cut off it seems? Or they sent me returned product that had the tabs broken during someone else's install... wouldn't be surprised. Might have to start looking at more expensive sellers since I'm a tad picky about fitment. For what it's worth, looking at them from the front reaffirmed that these style caps are a must for me. The stock mirror caps make the mirrors look tiny in relation to the car. These really bulk them up a bit Last edited by Unspec; 09-19-2019 at 09:21 AM..

I hear you on the splitters, it's not a full front lip, but more "accents" go on the m sport bumper. I personally like the look and had similar splitters on my F30. it's subtle, which is what I wanted. I didn't notice any fitment issues on my real CF mirrors and none of the tabs were broken. Once your pics are fixed, I'll compare it to mine. I'm not as picky about perfect fitment, especially on things I can easily take off.
