Tekarbon CF Mirror Covers Installed
I apologize in advance for the quality of the pics, can only do so much with an iPhone at night, haha.
The mirror covers installed in a breeze, thanks to a very clear DIY writeup that NickyC did here. The entire install took maybe an hour, but would have been much quicker if I had proper lighting. And believe me, if I can install a set of these, anyone can. I was pleased that Tekarbon adjusted how they wrap the mirror covers so that the CF goes inside the lip/edge of the mirror opening far enough that you never see bare plastic, even with the mirrors adjusted. I was also very impressed with how high quality the product was, perfect weave, perfect finish. These covers are truly a work of art and worth every penny, IMO. Kudos to Eric and the rest of the gang at Tekarbon. On to the pictures:

fat chance. I tried talking to them about an exchange for one mirror that had quite a few imperfections under the clearcoat ............ basic answer, sorry, there is a 7 day warranty. Take it off and send it back and we'll sand it down and reclear. That would involve me re-installing the old mirror, then removing the old mirror and re-installing the "fixed" mirror........... more work than I was up for as busy as my job is right now. I volunteered to buy a single mirror, then ship the defective one back for a refund but was told no. Glad yours are flawless. Moral of this story: Check them out immediately when you receive them and if the quality is not up to standard, request an exchange at once.

Looks good, welcome to the club! I guess I got lucky, mine are an older pair and the CF did wrap in so you can't see the plastic even when the mirror is adjusted.

On mine the CF is feathered at the far end to wrap around; Its OK but I wasn't exactly happy with the quality when I got them. These new ones are much better than the early models. I'm actually going to go back to OE covers in the spring.

Do you have a full picture of the car with these installed? thinking of doing this but would would like to see how they balance since my color is close to yours.

Well, daylight pics will have to wait until tomorrow, had a case that ran late and daylight faded on me.
I might use this as an excuse to pick up a new digital camera tomorrow, haha.
