I liken them to kinda wearing a copy Rolex watch in public ..................why would you, save for 6 months and buy the real thing

Oxymoron?

Add on with double sided tape , professional install highly recommended.

Assuming they go over the existing covers (perhaps they don’t) I can’t see how they would sit flush with the surround

 

[DaveT]

What about when they fold as well?

I have but bought from Ali Express so probably the same seller or at least same supplier...

They are not a perfect fit but also not too bad either and a fraction of the cost of OEM Carbon Fibre

The ones I bought replaced the OEM caps....I had Autoshield fit the new ones

Hahahahahahahah ...... hadn't thought it like that!! I thought these actually replace the plastic cover that's on there in black plastic, and these are real carbon fibre I thought? Lol

Thanks for the feedback! I would want them to replace the original colour coded plastic and be perfect so maybe not then. I think they are all from the same supplier, seen quite a few different sellers selling these on fleabay at different prices but all with same pics. Maybe not for me then .... thanks for everyone's advice!

Why not just wrap or hydro dip the ones you have? It's only for looks anyway.

This is a good option...mine were wrapped and the only reason I wanted to change them was due to the wrap fading over time since the previous owner had them done-at least 2+ years ago

@Bebs didn’t you pick up some carbon mirrors from China and you were really happy with the fitting??

About the first thing you've said I agree with
A bit like dipping - it's a bit "fake tan" imho.

Quite interested in these, especially if they turn out as nice as @Bebs did

Had them on my ‘17 GTS. As was mentioned the fit is not perfect. There is a slight gap on the top where the covers meet the
surrounding black plastic ring around the housing. It was quite embarrassing last summer at a concourse event on a hot day. Glue from
the black 3M tape started to ooze out of the gap like a mini volcano. I found a direct replacement set on EBay for $450 US. Much better
alternative to the covers.

 

[Bebs]

Although these pics don’t really show, there isn’t really a slight gap on mine where they meet the black plastic. Furthermore, we didn’t use the 3M pads but used a silicone glue instead.
