I have received mirror caps and spoiler from bulbexpert yesterday.
mirror cap carbon fiber weave was good for the money, but the fitment LOL.
passenger side was okay(good for the money imo)
driver side, it pops as i press on or pull with little tension... now I am worried if it will pop out under heat or something lol(but garage kept most of time)... we will see how it will stay on..
i ceramic coated the crap out of them so it doesnt fade or so...
spoiler looked and fitted well enough for the price!

I have this lip, my best friend has it. Painted mine gloss black. Fits excellent and has held up very well. Very happy with my purchase.

Nice! Take it over to Darby's Autobody if you want it painted/installed. They did mine, and they do fantastic work.

I had to bend the bottom tabs upwards to get mine to fit, you can even break some off if you really want and it shouldn't affect the hold. If you look at your stock cover compared to the CF ones you should notice that the tabs along the bottom edge bend slightly more downward on the CF ones and I think that is why it is hard to get it to fit right.

I just installed mine today. Drivers side is near perfect 9/10 and the passenger side is 8/10. I’m happy for the price but would be really disappointed if that happened to me later on. Anyone else have mirror caps that warped?
That is my guess. My car is always parked outside.

I tried explaining that to them but they refused to think they have a faulty product. And now I can't get them to give me my money back. Bunch of crooks.

Anybody have experience with Street Solutions exhaust tips? Finish looks great, just wondering about the durability on them.

My experience with bulbexpert for a F80 CF Diffuser: some minor hiccups, but I imagine most eBay CF parts have similar quality control. I can't complain considering the end result looks close to OEM or others at a much lower price.

Fitment: 7/10
This piece did not snap into place like my OEM piece, so I was forced to unwillingly flex the right side for proper alignment. I am slightly concerned for the long-term structural integrity of the piece due to the bend/flex, but we'll see. There are small but visible gaps between the diffuser and bumper panels, mainly on the right side. For the price, the fitment is acceptable.

Cosmetics: 7.5/10
My expectations were not high to begin with, but I am satisfied with the appearance from a few feet away. Up close, the CF weaves are not fluid in some spots and a few tiny blemishes exist. After contacting the seller, I received a 10% refund within a day.

Purchased some Carbon Fiber Direct Replacement Side Mirror Covers from "bulbxpert" on eBay. Fitment is a complete joke, like what's stated above by Couna777. Don't purchase them! (Pictures will be provided below).

I've purchased PERFORMANCE STYLE 3-PIECE CARBON FIBER FRONT LIP and PERFORMANCE STYLE CARBON MIRROR COVERS from HorizonMotorSports and will keep you guys updated on the fitment and quality.

Like others said, try to finesse with the fitment as much as you can. These might not be a straight fit but in the picture it definitely looks like needed one more pop.

I know non-OEM carbon pieces dont come with a fitment guarantee; therefore you get what you pay for. For what its worth... Im going to assume that the fitments that score under 7/10 have to be due to improper user installation, or the lack of being able to troubleshoot on your own. Heck, not even OEM products always snap in without a little wiggle.

I've ordered a bunch of CF parts on ebay and what I've noticed is not to go with the cheapest seller, they are still in the early stages of this craft and selling off the flawed cheap. With that said I have all ebay aero that I am very happy with after some trial and error. scraping doesn't hurt so much either lol

Did anybody already order other carbon parts than the often recommended diffuser from HSpeed KSLine on Ali?

They offer a full kit with front lip, front flaps, side skirts, diffuser and trunk spoiler that I would like to buy if the parts have a decent fitment.

If not Hspeed KSLine maybe you know another seller that has a decent V-Style spoiler and front lip + flaps?
