Carbon mirror caps

arube1 · 01-17-2015, 08:19 PM

What is the consensus on Carbon fiber mirror caps with alpine white? Is it too much? Ordering the black 19's with the cf roof so thought It would look good but now having second thoughts....would the stock mirrors look better?

MWcoupe · 01-17-2015, 08:27 PM

I like it. Go for it!

I like everything about the BMW M Performance ones, except for the pricetag.

I came here to write don't do it. Then I saw the picture. Its looks great, especially in white with the CF roof. Do it!

SaMaster14 · 01-20-2015, 08:17 AM

I think it would look good! It will compliment the other carbon parts on the car well.

luvmybluesbb · 01-20-2015, 08:28 AM

Yes, get the CF mirror caps it looks great! I have them on my SS and really happy with it!

There is no right or wrong answer. Personally, I will start with M CF spoiler and front grill and assess from there. I would like diffuser but will not give up the foot opening the trunk. I would also like the lip but it is not practical given I drive 20k mile/year on my car. Such first world problems... I feel very fortunate.

What does your mileage per year have to do with getting the front lip or not?

MWcoupe · 01-20-2015, 09:49 AM

I would get the front lip first! Those oem caps are like half the cost of front lip. I would of got that last if it didn't come with the car lol.

South Florida is filled with concrete blocks inside shopping centers and I am tired of backing into spaces.

can you post a pic? I got a SS ordered.

Def go for it. I think it looks great on lighter cars because of the contrast.

Those pictures make me upset that I am not getting a SS like I originally planned. Not convinced that CF mirrors will look as good on AW.

Great photos!

Have to thank the amazing guys at EAS for taking the awesome pics and installing those parts!

My car will be back there in a few weeks for more stuff!

white looks better to my eyes, but opinions vary. on a black car, I'd say go for it.
