Best place to buy CF mirror covers

So there are many places to buy CF mirror covers, but most are overpriced. I've seen some smaller websites that have pretty good deals but I have no idea on the fitment. Anyone know of a place that sells at a good price and has good fitment? I'm not opposed to an Alibaba vendor if the fitment has been tested by people.

I bought mine from here but I don’t see them listed on his site anymore, send an email and ask if he can get them. Or, find ones that look identical to these on aliexpress.

The brackets that are epoxied onto the CF shell are identical to the OEM caps (they have the same branding/model/codes as seen in the last attached image). Fitment is perfect, though they are not secured as snugly as OEM. The OEMs were a PITA to remove without removing mirror glass. If I was to install these again I’d remove the mirror glass as I did it recently without issue.

I did have an issue recently where the bracket on one of them came disconnected from the CF shell. I removed it from the car and epoxied it back on and its been perfect since. I think i may have broke it loose or affected the bond when i initially installed them without removing the mirror glass. I would buy these over again.
