Yeah, was planning on wrapping them but now that I found these, will most likely pick these up instead.

Did you order from the same link posted above?

Yeah direct replacement over the colored portion of the mirror. looks like there shouldn't be any gap as long as pushed all the way on. Will need to add some extra 3m strips likely. Luckily I've got 3m cf wrap already on mine so if anything shows it won't be noticeable.

Ive got a buddy who I'm going to ask to help me out. he owns a clear bra/tint shop. but i can't imagine it would be too much.

It's going to look weird when the top portion is glossy and the rest isn't

what top portion? we're talking millimeters of coverage if any that would be present just where the colored portion of the mirror reaches the black plastic base of the mirror. The cover is just about as perfect as can be without hanging over too much

14is350, after you install them can you take some closeup shots? my car is white and I just wanna make sure the covers go all over the painted area before I pull the trigger on these

Yeah I will. No worries. I've got white/Roja red. I'll get pictures up on Thursday probably.

They don't cover the blinkers ... Look at the picture I posted on the first page.
