Best Aftermark CF mirror Caps

[eternal512]

Guys, don't be like me.

Everything went so smoothly, I thought "I don't know why people were so worried."

And then after putting everything back together, the passenger mirror doesn't adjust.

Sad panda. Turns out I did exactly what ArmenLS1 did, thanks @ArmenLS1 for posting his mirror mishap...

I had been so keen to get the prybar back towards the middle of the mirror... i would have been better off nearer the edge.

I *then* failed to fully connect the BSM wire.. that guy is tricky because it's got a soft rubber plug on the back half (presumably for water), so it's hard to tell if you're all the way in. so I think in total, I've removed the mirrors 5 times.. I'm pretty dialed on this process now, so I'm happy to offer surgical assist to anyone scared to do this in Albuquerque

Now that it's all sorted, I'd say i think they're pretty great for $90 bucks and 2 hours of fear.

I suggest you don't put stick-on CF caps. Plus, the price you've been quoted seems steep. I bought mine from a dealer on eBay for $134, and I am very happy. They have clips on the inside like the ones you will replace. Because I was a little cautious about popping the covers off myself, I had them done by a professional. Here's the information about the seller on eBay.

I just purchased these myself and they *do not fit* my supra.. the clips aren't deep enough to click into place, so I'll have to return them and try a different batch... Just a heads up all

They just look like that push like you’re gonna break it ?

Life is too short for non-OEM parts when available. That said 1k is a bit high for them. I found a guy parting out his Supra for 350 and they came with the boxes too

While I generally agree that you get what you pay for, I bought carbon mirror cap replacements from AliExpress and they are great. After nearly two years on the car, there's no fade or yellowing and fitment is perfect.

I had some buddies who installed their own themselves and they didn't have any issues, I think I got a bad mold... I have a second set coming in from Amazon and will return whatever doesn't work lol
