G80 Carbon Fiber Mirror Cover/Cap Thread

Hi, I've searched and seen multiple posts discussing fitment and quality of G80 Carbon Fiber mirror caps. Trying to consolidate and start a go-to thread.

I'm getting ready to order a pair and figured others might be looking to do the same. If you have purchased and installed, could you post photos and a quick review? I'm thinking about going with Kies Motorsports but I've read some issues about windnoise. The other alternative I saw in a couple of other posts are Autotecknik.

Nah the grill I got straight from IND. they have a mesh option. I’m sure you can buy the mesh from IND and grill from dongsai if you wanted to. The carbon is perfectly fine from Dongsai.

The wave of the CF matches the roof of the car?

I wouldn't order from Kies. I ordered a set before and it had multiple issues. The LED turn signal would not sit flush and once installed there was too much flex that it made noises (see video below). Plus there was wind noise. Guessing this was due to the LED turn signal not sitting flush. Only good thing is they accepted the return without any hassle.

I ended up ordering my set from CT Carbon.
