Flame suit on: Are the eBay carbon mirror covers decent quality?

I love the look of carbon mirror housings. I found a set on eBay, Not sure if the fit and look is worth it. I know that there are other vendors here on 6speed that sell these covers however they are double in price. WW6SpeedonlineD?? lol

I know when i had my bmw 6 series everyone on the forum was very happy with there eBay/chinese front lip.....

Most places sell complete housing replacements thats why they are expensive. These are just caps that sit over your OEM mirror housing. I had a set years ago, they weren't bad at all. They held on nicely and had a nice glossy finish. I have no idea where they are now.

The listing is for only the left side mirror. Maybe that is why the vendors here are 2X the price.

It says 'Left' on one part of that item description, but then says the price is for a 'set' towards the bottom. If you're planning to buy those, I'd ask some questions of the seller first. Good luck!
