I can confirm that the difference in the wing to A-pillar gaps from one side to the other is minimal. We are talking a couple of mm difference, but the passenger side gap is slightly smaller/tighter...I don't think it's noticeable to the human eye though.

I saw that too when I posted the photos. If you look at the first photos right after install (from my garage), the gap is not there. The ones you blew up were after I drove the car around a bit. I will check them again later today - car is not my DD so I can't check it now. Will revert after having a look.

Are these compatible with cars that have the optional 360 view camera?
The side cameras are mounted in the underside of the mirrors, but AutoID's product replaces the entire housing. |

I was also wondering this. These replacements sound alright, but I have the 360 cameras, as well as the blind spot detection (triangle on inside of mirror housing), so I don't want to lose functionality obviously.

The base would need to be modified in order to fit but it definitely isn't impossible. |

Just make sure you disperse the pressure applied to minimize/remove your chance of breaking the mirror glass. |

I ordered a whole set of plastic trim removals off Amazon for about $15. Lots of options. |

Sorry but I cannot upload any pix as the internet where I am now located is for want of a better description...……….abysmal! Now based within 120 acres of land (not mine) so along way from things associated with telephony and internet! I'm pleased with the look to be perfectly candid. You are of course absolutely correct about the mirror gaps but I think this matter has been covered previously and to do with the left hand/right hand drive situation. For me it's not an issue as the car is never going to be entered into a concours competition so it won't be an issue.

Ok...so got a chance to take a few close ups the other day and the fit is not 100% OCD certified...meaning they don't line up exactly to the nanometre at the outermost tip of the mirror (with the turn signal). Of course this could just be on my set/install, as I haven't seen others close up - perhaps more fidgeting with them could get them to line up a bit better, driver's side seems a bit better, but still not 100% perfect. But to be honest, unless you want to spend $2,500 for the M2C mirrors then these are the next best thing and only a couple of hundred dollars. Cost/benefit, these (IMO) are the best bang for the buck...I mean let's face it, we're not curing cancer here...they're just mirrors people.
