How to remove Techart mirror caps
Like the title says, what is the best way to remove the techart mirror caps? I bought the car with them, but not a big fan.

I just took off mine. It's the carbon fibre version which was just sticked on with doubled sided tape. So I just push it off slowly from one end to the other.

I just wiped them off with alcohol. The original paint on the mirror was unhurt and it looked perfect!

The carbon fibre trim still looked perfect. I just didn't think it fit the look of my car!
