    from what i understand the a4 and s4 share most of the same basic body lines. i could be totally wrong. but i came across this http://jpcarbon.com/A4-C307759.aspx?sid=24176 and was wondering if their prices looked shady low. because their lower than anything ive seen in the CF marketplace.

    Those are just covers that go over your existing mirror housing. Their full replacement housing assembly will be more; looks like $239. Don't go with the covers. Every single person that has tried them said they were awful.

    Yeah, crap. Still sitting in a box on my stair case. Didn't even make sense to send them back to China. Ate $100 on that one.

    Make a DIY if you can with your findings...specially if you need to modify/file down anything.

    Looks like a CF replica of the stock diffuser, might look good.

    Unfortunately, yes. I bought the mirror covers being a cheap ass and the fit was beyond horrible. They flat out didn't fit. Almost like they were made for different mirrors. Shipping them back actual would've cost me more than I paid.

    It's reduced to 280, no point though if it doesn't fit

    Did you attempt a chargeback on your credit card?

    Also... Mirror covers. Just the concept of that doesn't bode well for results.

    Yeah $280 is still quite a bit for a purely cosmetic item that would really suck if it didn't fit.

    I did. They stated since I had the product in hand my choices were either to ship them back (at a cost of $120) I paid $110 for the product or I had to eat the charge. I tried the argument that it was their fault because they did send the wrong product (or so it seemed - I felt like it bordered on fraud being that the fitment was so bad) but Amex rules requires that I send it back. JP refused to even go half on return shipping. The product pictured on their website looked nothing like the product I received.

    On the other hand, you may have ordered the wrong parts from them in the first place without realising :)

    Example - rear diffuser for regular B8 doesn't fit the s-line/s4 rear bumper. Maybe similar case for mirrors too.

    Ooops!

    For those interested, Eurspec also produces these in pretty damn good quality, and the fit is perfect - as I already test fitted them to my automatic folding assemblies. Purchase to delivery in less than a week.











    Test fit says yes:

    I grabbed these ones, they are perfect ! Seller had them to me 9 days after payment, and every email was answered within 12hrs . Unreal customer service pretty much the exact opposit of Ocarbon ( I'm still out $1050 with Matt...)

    Got mine installed on Friday, first one was a bit of a pain but second one was easy once you know how the install goes. Side assist was a bitch to get out of the old housing and in the new, broke the same tab on both of them. Other than that everything went perfect and took about an hour to install them. Can't seem to get Flickr to upload pics for some reason.

    *edit* finally got pics to upload to Flickr
