I got my Carbon yesterday:-)
But there was covers + 2 other parts??
Anybody know what is needed to mount?

I got the carbon ones today. But there was no screws or hardware, is that how they came for everyone else?

Use oem screws 👍🏼

Got mine in and it’s on

- fit is nice ( just need to take your time installing it)
- looks damn good mounted
- prepreg CF caps are nice made - epoxied on plastic tab are kind of brittle, so be careful with those. I broke one of the clips on mine despite being extremely careful

- Other two plastic pieces are nicely made even though the quality of the plastic doesn’t seem to be on par with OEM
- no wind noise on either side

Looks super!
Approx how long did each side take and how experienced are you?

And BTW, what front lip is that?

20mins each side.

Can you expand on this a little more? Does it not match well with the OEM mirror bases?

It matches perfectly with the base. No complaints on the fit and finish

For me the Autoid ABS plastic used for the base feels less dense/less heft compared to the OEM .

I'm surprised how good the CF mirrors look. I think I'm going to place an order.

LOL so for us mortals figure on double that time?

Really looks great though, thanks for the pics.

I started installing my mirrors yesterday and was curious if those who have installed theirs have a similar gap or if I need to go back and readjust everything?

The area where I think I have an issue is at the base of the mirror and I circled it...not sure if that area is supposed to be flush with the base or as it is.

For anyone looking at tinting the signals:

I might be interested in doing this

I just got my CF set today. Parts look of good quality. I won't install until spring so hopefully fitment is good.

just blaze · 01-17-2019, 06:28 AM

Just got my CF set in a few days ago and installed. Install is fairly easy and straight forward. Hardest part is aligning all sides when installing the cap to the rest of the assembly.

Also thanks whoever mentioned installing the mirror last to allow better visibility when installing the cap.

Overall I'd give them a 9.5/10

- Have a few little areas that aren't precise on the fitment but you can hardly tell. On the drivers side, the wing tip on the CF side of the cap is ever so slightly longer than the mirror side base. Around the lower area of where the CF cap rounds off and meets the gloss black lower has a very tiny gap if I'm nitpicking.

- Quality seems pretty good overall. Everything is nicely finished and I had no issues with that.

- As someone else mentioned, autoid pieces seem slightly less dense than the oem pieces but they are still well made.

- Lastly when installing, the key thing to point out is make sure that when installing the cap, the bottom tab slides in first and foremost before pushing everything together.

I got the driver side on pretty easily. On the passenger side I bent the tab because I didn't slide that tab in correctly.

Looks pretty good! Do you plan on adding the tint strip?

Currently have the M2C mirrors but when I did have the replicas I also had a slight alignment issue in the same area you circled. Just couldn't get the clear turn signal part to sit perfectly flush at the ends, even after multiple attempts. Both side were like that but the rest of the mirror looked perfect so I'm not sure if it was install error on my part or just poor fitment in that one area.

I completely forgot to order them when I ordered the set. I may add them down the line.
