I was looking at carbon fiber covers for my side-view mirrors but I am confused because on ebay there were to sellers but one of them was a lot more expensive, they looked the same and I couldn't tell the difference, so can someone tell me the main difference between THESE TWO covers? My guess is just quality.
Thank you

Just get the cheaper ones. They are most likely the same. Just one seller is asking more than another. I've seen these in person (polepositions 550). They look AWESOME!

Just ordered a set and was in converstion with this vendor and had him put it up. A day later I was going to do the buy it now when another vendor posted a pair(car4option) for like 90 bucks buy it now shipped so I got them instead. They look the same to me but i'll post some pics once they come in.

Hi guys,
Just wondering if you had any pictures or if I could have your opinion on these CF side view mirrors on a Silver E60??? I know they'd look good on a Black one but unsure about on my Silver one?

One thing to watch out for is the type of carbon production. We carry these for the E9X 3-series and noticed that several manufacturers offered them for very cheap but they were wet lay cf as opposed to dry vacuum form. Wet Lay is fine for some parts but can lead to yellowing, imperfect weave and fitment issues. I would opt for the more expensive dry vacuum form if you could. There is a reason Vorsteiner exclusively produces their parts using this type of production.
