No need to apologize, it's always good to have information on stuff like this.
Have you installed the sequential turn signals? After some more digging there's mixed results on brightness. Now I'm back on the fence about picking up a set.

No, not yet. I'm still waiting on my M mirror shells from AutoID so I can do it all at once. I'm on the fence about them also, but it's too late since I already purchased them.

Unpainted and the price escalates when you choose CF. I'm of the mindset where if it comes to spending $2k on mirrors I would be better off trading in my car for an M2C as there comes a time where these mods don't make sense financially to me at least.

Unfortunately we aren’t in position to develop 2 variations because the cost is extraordinary. 1 mould is around $38,000.
So does this mean the mirror sets sold on your website are meant for RHD cars?

Looking at the part numbers, the mirror housings are identical for LHD and RHD models of the M2C.

The mirror lenses are where the differences come in.

The drinker's side is convex for US models, with the driver's side apparently being plain glass.

Both sides are wide angle for LHD and RHD European models.

Edit: That said, there is a noticeable difference in the actual mounting to the door, with the left mounting (as viewed from the rear of the car) being a different shape to the right.

So, I suspect that with the M2C mirrors it's the case that RHD cars get mirror assemblies that were designed to work best in a LHD car.
