Anyone purchase the carbon mirror caps from suprastar?

If so, how are they? Trying to decide if I just want the 3M ones posted below, or the full mirror cap replacements.

I'd pay the little bit extra and go for full replacements, those just use 3M tape and stick on your existing mirrors which IMO adds unnecessary bulk and weight. Putting a lightweight CF part on top of another part is counter productive lol

I see a lot of people on the fb page using these, and the owner of eastcoastsupra is very active there as well. https://www.eastcoastsupra.com/product-page/east-coast-supra-carbon-fiber-mirror-caps

for sure. It’s honestly just a cosmetic thing for me. I’ll take a look at those though thank you.

Overpriced. Shop around. If you want just covers, they can be had for less than $100 shipped to US from Taiwan

Did you get these from Ebay? How is the fitment on the front?

Thanks for your help!

These replacement Mirror caps can be found on AliExpress for $75,00. It's up to you if you want to spend $300 for the identical cap. One factory in China makes them, and the vendors mark them up. Plain and simple. The same goes for the carbon fibre Steering wheels. Straight out of China $750. But from a vendor for $1,300.

Ebay?

Yes, sorry. I pasted a copy that has his site address. There are others if you look.

I bought these. Full replacement, OEM fit. They did take a while to show up.

Yeah I am thinking about just doing full on replacements instead of covers. Did you need to use a pry tool to get the current caps off? If so is there a good one you use or are they just pretty much universal and wont scratch anything up?

I just used a regular old plastic pry tool. The covers were clipped in really right. Just place a towel between the tool and the mirror when prying the old ones off. You wont scratch anything.

Just ordered them. It was only a few dollars more to get the full replacement caps vs the tape ons. I appreciate yours(and everyone else who posted in here) help

There's a great video on youtube that shows you how to get the caps off.
