I would guess and say theres some kind of adhesive on the back of the cover. Peel off and just stick it on the mirror. Its prob like the dash kits.

Thats what they want you to think with that angle they took the picture at. If they were made of 100% CF, I think they would go for way more than 175$. Plus if you read the title, it says COVERS.... not just one. So both for 175$..... seems too good to be true

the cover of your mirrors pop off I have had to replace the cover (being the part that is the same color as your car) due to a hit & run

I believe that this is a real %100 non sticker cover just call http://www.jdmcarboy.com/ for questions

A buddy of mine just bought some carbon fiber parts from this website & had no problems what so ever. I would call & talk to someone before you buy anything from any on line website that is not trusted or has not been around for over 2+ years ;)

I got these from JDM carboy. I guess I got lucky....even though it took a long time, I did receive them. They are just covers. You'll need double sided tape to put on them, and then stick them on your current mirror covers.

I would never wait that long to get a product that I paid up front for. And then not responding to anything, I prob would of called the BBB. But thats me.

I don't have any pics right now, but the ones from JDMcarboy don't have the best fitment. Luckily, I sprayed my stock covers flat black before I installed them, so it's really hard to tell that they don't cover the whole thing. I know there is a guy on here who sells them, maybe his have better fitment.

Read it and believe it! You have a guy right here that it took nearly 10 months before I got what I deserved and I was still cheated out.

Exhaust came dented. Front lip came cracked in two places. they wouldnt replace it because it was no longer made. they said they would refund the money, but never did anything about it for three months. I finally got ahold of someone so they said they would just give me a credit to the store. I was able to get mirrors in two weeks, but they also sent a tie bar that came a couple months later. Which wasnt even made for my car, and was all scratched up. A great paperweight! From the moment it was delivered, I have yet to get any responses to my phone calls, emails or anything. They attempt to make things right, but when it comes down to it, they just empty the shop when they replace things with crap.

I know that a guy in solano scikotics has some covers and there is like a 1/4" gap all the way around it.it looks pretty cheap because since it fits like crap you can tell it's a cover and not a replacement.
