Sorry, not sure why the ebay link was being weird and so long. Couldn't get it to work so I just posted a screenshot of the page lol.

If anyone has these please let me know how they are!

72 sold is pretty decent sales. I'd say yes. I have non carbon fiber winged mirrors and they fit perfect

Yeah I saw these because JHP Dynamics posted it on his instagram story and said some good things about it. On top of that, they had 72 sales and good rep so I just ordered a set! Will post pics when I receive them

Edit: Should be here Sept. 12th or sooner

Updating with images and quality:

TL;DR
Caps are okay for the price. You get what you pay for. Minor defects that are not too noticeable. Overall, for ~$50 it's not terrible if you're on a budget.

Review:
Obviously for the price, the carbon fiber is not real. I understood that when purchasing. My initial impressions were that they looked nice and felt nice. Upon closer inspection, the right side mirror cap had a "warped" appearance on the carbon in front and the backside of the winged area (circled in red). In the first picture on the curve of the winged part curving up, you can see on the left that the carbon is uniform. However, on the right side the carbon flows with that curve. Sorry if that doesn't make much sense. There was also a slight mark on the front side of the carbon fiber as well (circled in red). I'm not mad at the product, but I did return it because it was not the style I wanted which was the style posted in the original post. The eBay post had two separate style of mirrors, it was my fault for not double checking with the seller.

That should teach you what most ricers will accept as quality.

Yeah definitely not what I consider quality but it was worth a shot. Cheap and free returns so no harm done! At least I can hopefully save others from buying it haha

A Honda is also a fraction of the price of a BMW.

Deflection

I wish the ricers and their $50 acceptable CF Mirror Caps had stayed with those cheaper brands.
