Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap Replacements

f80_brian · 07-12-2020, 10:27 AM

Hey guys, I've been eyeing on this product for a while now and was curious to see if anyone from the forums have purchased directly from them. If so, how was the quality and fitment?

Thanks in advance!

Funny how the OEM caps are made in China. Even the CF parts in the Carrera GT are... guess what... made in China.

The cheap ebay/aliexpress ones still fit like shit tho.

Right! It's kind of hard to trust who has the best parts for the right price. Even the big brands that sell carbon parts for F8X are getting them from the same supplier like every other vendor.

Have you had any experience with bulbxpert on eBay? Seems like they're selling carbon mirror replacement caps for the same price and many people from the forum buys from them...

Bulb expert is top notch. CF Mirror caps are one of the hardest pieces to have perfect fitment unless OEM. My fittment is like a 7/10 but I don't care

It should be obvious, but just because 2 different parts are both made in China does not mean they are of equal quality or fitment. While it's disappointing that the OEM caps are made in China, you rarely hear about quality or fitment issues.

Did you get your mirror caps from bulbxpert as well?

That would be much appreciated!

gum2012 · 07-22-2020, 10:32 AM

FYI OP... I bought the exact product you linked to and the fit was poor. I don't recommend you buy it unless you have low expectations. One piece of the plastic broke too on the left mirror.
