Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps

As discussed in a previous thread (seen here) I had some custom carbon fiber mirror caps made. These are not cheap knock-off carbon fiber stickers, these are genuine Chevrolet ABS plastic mirrors with real carbon fiber hand laid over them with the most UV resistant resin on the market and finished off with automotive grade (PPG) clear-coat, also designed to be UV resistant.

Again, these are not cheap knock-off's, these are not just slapped together. It's very high quality work, and in this case, you get what you pay for. They are not the cheapest things on the market, but I challenge you to find a business that does equal quality work for much less. Due to the curves in the mirror caps it does raise the cost of doing a set. Initial cost of one set (two caps) will be $250 plus the cost of the mirrors. I got mine for about $30 here. The price will probably be to high for many people, but I assure you. If you want to tastefully accessorize the exterior of your vehicle with real, quality carbon fiber, it's worth it.

PM me for more details and information on how to get a set of your own, or how to get other pieces in carbon fiber.

They are installed, but I am going to wait for the ice to melt first haha. Install was pretty easy, hardest part is adjust them mirrors 10 different times to get to the tabs.

You will see some darker spots but the caps are all the criss-cross dark light carbon fiber. The top portion of the cap may appear dark, but that is just due to the light and angle.

Those are SWEEEEET! love the look, too bad they are so much $, I agree that it is worth the cost to have true CF, but just can't justify the cost after just having added the GM stage kit.
