thats mainly because they are overlays, not full mirror replacments.

So how do you install these things? Do they just glue over the existing housing?

Tekarbon are wet wraps on OE shells they are a complete replacement.
These ebay units are just snap on covers.

I considered getting these because of the significant cost difference between these and Tekarbon, but I just can't deal with how these would cut off right at the edge of the mirror, leaving the back painted side exposed and a raw cutoff line where the two areas meet. They do look like decent quality pieces, though.

One thing that I don't like on the tekarbon is that it doesn't completely wrapped around the mirror opening. You can still see the OE plastic housing right at where the mirror meets the housing. This ebay listing doesn't show that area either

most people put the cf mirrors on their cars, not their "members"

My set from Tekarbon will be arriving today, and I plan on installing them today, as well. I'll be taking a copious amount of pictures and will post them when complete. There are a few others on here that have already posted some pictures, though. Takes some digging, but if you search the General Forum as well as the Cosmetics forum for "carbon mirror" you should be able to find a few threads with the pics in them.

Okay, I started a new thread with the pics in it so as to not take this one off topic from the OP.
