They now provide three options:
  1. Carbon over ABS plastic replacement covers
  2. Carbon add-on that goes over the existing mirror cover
  3. 100% pre-preg carbon replacement covers

The carbon over ABS was reviewed by Pantagathus here and he documented some slight fitment issues although he spoke version highly of their other carbon accessories. It was in this thread that it was mentioned that XXII would be making a 100% carbon version which caused me to research it. It wasn't listed (or I didn't see it) on their site so I reached out to them directly. Per that conversation #3 above is 100% pre-preg carbon.
Thanks for gathering the information. Is it worth paying $290 (for both sides) more to have all fiber rather than the ABS plastic?
