Autotecknic carbon fiber mirror caps installed

Installed the covers today and thought I'd share some pics. Quick 15 minute install, perfect fitment and they even include turn signal lights pre-installed so don't have to switch over the originals. They look great! Highly recommend

Glad to see yours fit well! I ordered my first pair off Ebay and the drivers side was perfect but passengers had a huge gap. Returned those and ordered a pair from IAW thinking they were more reputable, but have the same exact issue. Hopefully can sort it out soon.

Oh bummer! These were a little more pricey but thought it was worth for them to fit properly. My passenger side was a struggle to get on and close the gap but after a few hard taps it seems to fit lol

Did you have any gap at all when u initially fit it on? My gap is on the bottom of the mirror cap where it meets the oem trim piece. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the driver's side fit on in less than a minute so not sure what the issue with passenger is.

I had to pull it off and put it back on a few times, and tap it extra firmly to get it to finally fit perfectly into place. More so on the passenger side; the driver side seemed easier to fit on.

I just can't get it on right, the outer turn signal indicator is as far down as it can go, but the gap on the bottom still persists. They're shipping me a replacement so let's see how that goes.
