I pulled the trigger just now...let's see how things go...for $70 shipped compared to $300 (w/o shipping) on RW Carbon, I'll take the chance!

Est. Arrival 19-30 October...I'm located in DC Metro Area.

Bought the CF Mirror Replacements and the CS Style Spoiler from bulbexpert Monday and received today. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

Packaging: Extremely well-packed, multiple layers of bubble wrap and the items themselves were in a soft anti-scratch material bag. The box for the spoiler had two very hard cardboard edges to prevent any bending whatsoever. They obviously put time and thought into packing these.

Mirrors Replacements $229.99, Free Shipping https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F202084492003

Quality: 9/10. No bunching in the weave...a very slight "haziness" in one spot if you look from the right angle...I'm being critical here. The clips are very sturdy compared to OEM. They are a very hard plastic.

Fitment: 9/10. I had ZERO issues getting these on the car. Installed in 20 mins max including time to remove old mirrors. The corner is not "perfect" as others have noted but by no means would this stop me from buying them again. Unless you are specifically looking for this then there is no way anyone will ever notice this. The three clips at the top do not align with the OEM mirror cover which concerned me at first but did not affect me snapping them into place.

CS Style Spoiler $156.99, Free Shipping
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F202382606948

Quality: 7/10. Random two small holes on the bottom. No idea why. I have a scratch on mine ~1in long on the top right of the spoiler...not very noticeable but it's there...I could be picky and ask for a replacement but I can buff this out. Few very light scratches in the clearcoat that you can only see when the light hits it at the right angle. Weave is OK...no major issues.

Fitment: 7/10. Bottom line...it will fit. The outer edges are not perfectly seated if you use one layer of tape. The middle will adhere very well to the trunk but the edges won't. Solution...use more tape. It does extend the full length of the trunk, curvature is pretty good too.

Will post pics later.

OK fitment. Had to remove and press back on a few times. Whatever mold they used wasn't very straight along the top of the mirror and passenger contour (towards the window) bulks out a bit. Driver side fits better. Both top corners do not line up perfectly, but it's close enough.

Quality 1-10(best), reason for score: 8/10 symmetrical and good weave. I noticed the back side is plastic versus the BMW replacements you can see the weave front and back of the mirror cap. Freaked me out for a second thinking it was faux carbon fiber.
Item price: $229 - 15% with eBay coupon
Shipping price: Free
Item location: CA


I have bought a few CF parts from Bulbxpert and Cuztom_tuning for my infiniti q50 (Grill, cf mirrors, splitters). They are the same company. The CF will last a few months, then will start to warp or the clear coat will start chipping off. I would advise to return or have it professionally clear coated unless you plan on buying it again in a few months.

Thanks for the advice. I actually got the entire car ceramic coated recently so the mirrors should be OK. Will update this thread if it makes a turn for the worse.

A quick update on the Ikon lip, I definitely see where the middle sags, as has been mentioned prior- I thought about throwing a screw in the middle, but not sure how much that'll do to remedy it. Also, I scrape coming in and out of my driveway, and have on a few other occasions driving it, and the middle portion has ground down quite a bit to where it's pretty noticeable now. I'm probably going to take the lip off for the winter and look for something else come spring.

Well this came today. Will report on fitment prior to painting.

I think I'm going to pick this up for next spring:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car-...a-f360ff272eed

I'm going to take the Ikon lip off in a few weeks and probably trash it. I think any lip I put on is going to scrape pretty significantly, so something like the AC Schnitzer style lower splitters may be the best compromise.

I just took a chance and purchased these Upper carbon eyelid spoilers. I am seriously impressed. Fit and finish are a 9+ and install was super easy. I would recommend using your own 3M tap instead of the installed tape which was sub par.

No problem- there are a few different sellers selling what I'm guessing are the same exact ones on AliExpress and Ebay- I believe there's one on Ebay that sells them from the US, just search for "BMW F80 AC style" and you'll get a handful of sellers selling them.

Ikon / MagicDrift front lip; thanks to WIKDF80 and eyeamgrewt for the helpful hints. I was able to re use a lot of the OEM screws, 6 of the 10 holes lined up perfectly. I did reinforce a few weak/ sagging spots. The lip looks great, but it is flimsy. Its held up to speeds so far of 120+ where I got eaten by a GTR lol. Daily my commute is highway, 70+ mph and no issues. Also, I didn't use the double sided tape they provided, I went and bought 1/2" thick 15' roll of 3M tape and the adhesion enhancer.

(DV with a filter)


(DV without any filter, just different lighting)

Just installed CS style trunk spoiler. Fitment 10/10 and quality 10/10, no visible blemishes in the weave. Product arrived quickly and included 3M tape for installation. After prepping the trunk installation is very easy. I would recommend this seller. I'm currently following sellers V Style front lip and will probably pull the trigger. Here is the link for the spoiler. I installed.

It literally just arrived in NY last night...really slow transit time (in my opinion). It took from 19 Oct to 8 Nov to get into the US...still on it's way to VA tho...

Got them in the mail today...excellent fit and finish...I have no complaints about these besides the long shipping time...I was considering selling them since it took so long but they will be getting installed tomorrow lol
