Might be bad quality. And take forever to ship. Hard to return.

Of course they would look good, but what's the point of this thread

Buy it from a vendor here so if anything comes up, it's easier to resolve the issue.

BTW Taiwan quality might be bad??? Hum... last time I checked KW V3 causes LOTS of issue (squeaking noise) on xi models and the problem is yet to be resolved...????? My CF mirror covers are from Cyba, a vendor here who stays in Taiwan. I have been running them for over 3 years and it's still like the day I bought it.

first off, the picture posted is off the pre-lci and some are off the lci. Gotta make sure what you are buying before you buy it.
Second, if they are trying to send mixed messages about what they are trying to sell, then it raises a flag in my mind.
You are better off buying from a vendor on the forums because they know what they are selling and the quality should be better.

Ehhh.... I wouldn't go with CF unless your going to make a theme out of it. I stuck with body colored parts and matte black on my TiAg.

NJ330i · 03-19-2010, 09:02 AM

If you have a carbon fiber theme they probably look good.

hitster · 03-19-2010, 09:25 AM

I thought I'd also add that half the vendors selling CF products at decent prices arent exactly making these products in the high tech carbon fiber production plants at the back of their garages, the majority of this stuff comes from Taiwan, China etc and its the only way costs can be kept down... Ive bought loads of CF stuff and the majority has been ok, I personally wouldn't spend the money which vendors like vorsteiner etc ask for, only for something special like a hood.

Exactly, if you have CF on the exterior of the car then it's a nice accent.

I have a CF roof spoiler. I'm looking at CF mirror covers, splitters, and m tech spoiler.

NiVeDh · 03-19-2010, 09:36 PM

Not to threadjack but does anyone make full replacement CF mirror covers for pre-LCI E90?

Hey, I had these on and I think they made a really nice accent on the car.
