I installed the cabon fiber mirror caps and very happy with the fitment. The only issue is the wind noise on the drivers side and still haven't figured out how to eliminate it.

You purchased from Keis? That wind noise would drive me crazy.

I just installed mine a couple days ago and I'm noticing this as well. It's like the driver's side one doesn't fit as well as the passenger side one and the slight gap between the housing and the cap is causing this.

Did you ever figure it out?

I ended up ordering my set from CT Carbon.

I couldn’t see them on the CT Carbon website?

Are you much happier with them?

Couldn't be happier. I've installed them on two of my G80s. About to go on my third one.

It's on their site. Link below.

Did you remove the mirror when installing or just move the mirror down to pop out the clips?

Just moved the mirror out of the way so I can access the two clips. Removing the mirror is risky, you have a chance of breaking it. All you need is a flat head screw driver and some light so you can see where the clips are.

Is dongsai a supplier for CT?

I tried going the cheap route on my F80 mirror caps and the fitment was terrible. Ended up returning and getting an OEM set.
