Is it a Stick over existing type? or is it like a proper fitment thing, where u have to remove the original cover from behind your rvm and replace that with this carbon fibre one? gotta be either of these two!
If there is no tape given within the CF mirror cover, and it has clips on its side, then i suspect it to be a replacement fit!
