Im debating on pulling the trigger to but it seems as sellers don't have the same color as my car (Jet black ) they only have carbon fiber and gloss black, you think gloss black is like jetblack? Or would it look off

My car is JetBlack too so there's no metallics or Pearl's of any sort so yes, gloss black is pretty much JetBlack. I'm looking into the Carbon fiber version tho. I'd say go for it since I like this style vs the plain caps we have. It's like the engineers gave great body lines to the F10. But slapped on the ugliest no shape mirrors at least on the base series

I got carbon fiber as I have some carbon fiber door handle covers (paint was peeling, and it was cheaper than repainting), carbon fiber rear diffuser and carbon fiber lip spoiler on the trunk. My car is carbon black.

Had the same long time delivery with my current set. About a month long wait overseas. How long has it been now 1.5 weeks?

Received my mirrors today and they look great! Unfortunately they do not have cutouts for the sensors on the bottom of the mirror so I haven't installed them yet

The vendor I ordered from cancelled my order and refunded my money. Something about a shipping delay, and they were required to do so as it would be longer than two days. Something like that. Anyway, I guess I will order from another vendor before I go into withdrawal.

Super51fan, can you post some pics for us when you get a chance. Even one just overlaying the existing mirror so we can see how it will look. The angle on the swoop is a bit different than the others, so I am curious what it really looks like on the car. Thanks!!!!

They aren't remotely close to fitting my car. This is my fault for not realizing my pre-lci car has the 2 piece mirror caps because it has surround view and lane-change warning. LCI mirror covers won't work for me either due to not having turn signals in my housing so I am SOL on any carbon mirrors

The inner black piece that holds the mirror and the land change warning light is different on cars without and without Surround View. I believe the only real way to make this work is by using LCI covers, inner black piece, and turn signals (that will have to be wired in) in order to get this to work
