Carbon Fiber mirror covers

[KareemA4]

i might pick up a set from ebay.
these are the covers not the whole housing.
who else has them?, im worried they will look bad because it says they go over the existing mirror housings

thanks in advance...

[kwik_shift]

Sounds tacky if there just covers, and will probably make the housings look off. Save a bit more and get the actual CF housings.

don't do it. You won't like it. Buy some carbon fiber and wrap it yourself

[VagStaR]

speaking of wrapping carbon fiber yourself. Has anyone done it, or know someone who has? Or at the very least know of a good place to buy some, or research the topic?

winston wraps oem mirrors in cf for 4 or 500

[sandspeed]

$4-500? To wrap mirrors? That's insanely expensive.

[italian a4 1032]

^^^yea

Dont buy covers bro, my homie bought some s4 chrome mirror covers and they look like shit. Either wrap them or search and see if anyone makes a set of them.

i have mirror caps havent looked back...

rather have caps then spend $400 on the real deal.



only thing i would sugest is painting the mirrors black first. then putting the cap on after you have painted them.

looks a million times better

[KareemA4]

cool, thanks!
and do you have any closer up pics please?
thanks

I'm actually in the middle of my CF project. I've spent about $70 and when i'm done i'll have all my interior trim, both ashtray covers, mirror covers and hopefully my engine cover (depending on how much carbon fiber fabric i'll have left).

Are you vacuum bagging for the mirrors? I want to try them but I'm afraid to mess them up.

he's selling them for 360 shipped as compared to the original 400 dollar price that OSIR sells them for...but pm him and ask him about it first. i just put them on my car and the full cf housings looks great

do you guys think its even worth putting cf mirrors on an already black car...it will look almost the same, and it would be hard to recognize that they are cf...im in a pickle between CF mirrors, or the aluminum ones...

^^ i love your car. Not many yellow a4's on here. And are your mirror's just the covers?

S4!

[B6Lovin]

that first picture has single handedly made me decide to wrap my mirrors...

seriously, i was reading this thread thinking "this is fucking retarded... what's wrong with body color mirrors? 90% of base-model cars (which the a4 is) don't come with them so we shouldn't complain"

but now i see the light. and want your front end (ecodes included)

[Turbo1A4]

cool, does it fit properly?

they fit damn good it takes a little work getting them on i would say about 30min mostly because i wasnt sure how the glass part of the mirror came off till i said screw it and popped it out and slid the cover over but i love them

[JMRQuattro]

S4!

oops, didn't see the badge... ok well i maintain then that there aren't many yellow a4's on here haha.

nah, they're the actual housing

No vaccum bagging. I use 3M spray adhesive. I spray the whole peice of carbon fiber that i'm using to wrap the part with the 3M, wait a few minutes for it to tack then i wrap the part nice and tight....thus no need to vaccum bag. works perfect!!

I ordered the CF and resin a while ago, just waiting for the resin. Do you spray the back of the CF directly or the part where your sticking it to, aka the mirrors directly?

I actually spray on the fiber but, I guess you can spray it on the mirror covers.
