CF Vinyl Mirror Covers

CF Vinyl Mirror Covers
You know, to match the vinyl on the splats. I know that real ones are available, but I'm looking to spend my money on a CF Lip Kit, so I figured I'd go the cheap route and do vinyl on the mirrors.
Don't mind Tippy the cat; he wanted to strike a pose for the photo.
The mirror covers are incredibly easy to take off- Tilt the mirror all the way up and use a flathead to pry it from the bottom.
Then, tilt the mirror all the way down and pry from the top. Simply pop out the mirror at that point.
There will be 4 screws. Once you unscrew them, the mirror cover will easily pop off. Then you can wrap the entire piece and re-install.

Hehe thanks guys, and sorry I've been away for so long. >_<
I'm waiting on the Carbon Fiber (real, not vinyl this time folks!) lip kit that SEIBON showed at SEMA to be available for my car already! I was advised the wait time may be months
But my heart is pretty set on it. So is Batmobile's
In the meantime, I'll just have to find something else to mess with hehe...but what could it be....hmmmmm

Hey Jen,
love the wheels......mad props....
skip all the hate comments, as long as you like them..who cares....
i am actually planning another wild color on UW 350 Fsport in F14 Square 18x8.5 ET 35...so your rear stick out tooo much and rub when dropped? are fronts flush?
how much do rears need to tuck for you to fit better?

Excessive wheel gap?
NOT ANYMORE
I will post more pictures later. This was a test fit of RS*R lowering springs, but NOT, I repeat, NOT the final result. The offsets on my rear wheels are too aggressive to handle this amount of drop, so different springs were installed (Excessive gap is still taken care of, don't worry!)
Photos to come (when I have daylight again haha)
*Note: Wheel offset information has been updated on first post

Planning another wild color eh? I can't wait to see! We need more colors in here!!!!
Fronts are flush, but the rears do stick out a tad. My current rear offset is 32; I was told that if I were at 42 offset, I could probably go lower without an issue (on a 19 x 9.5 wheel). What I'm going to try is just stretching the tires on the rear (currently on 265/30, trying to go to 245/35) and that should help me. I hope
YES!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!
Hahaha, good to see you're still on here Javy!

The pursuit of F
Straight to the head office, I like that!
Maybe we got USB here in Canada, but you folks in the US, especially in California, have the most varied selection of car shops and parts you can ever want a simple drive away!
Why do think I'm literally making almost all my own mods???
