M Style Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps

What is the best and most authentic style for an LCI M2? There are a ton of
styles online. After much research I was thinking of going with this style. It's just a cover not the entire mirror.

It just seems simple and not overly flashy.

Probably these. Not much more $ than what you linked and you can get them in non-carbon too.

I took a punt on some AliExpress jobs:

http://s.aliexpress.com/Z3qy6Zv6

For the price, and reviews, I was prepared to put up with a little delay on delivery.

Fitment was good; first mirror was about 10mins as I was learning, second one was about 5mins. Was full carbon too. Not perfect, but certainly not bad enough for me to grump / pay for MP parts.

I also did side and front winglets in CF.

The rear wing is next, but I'm a little more nervous given the potential for poorer fitment.

Do you have any pics of the Aliexpress mirror caps? Both from the front and from the driver’s perspective?
