Carbon Addict for me the only positive thing I would say is shipping was a little faster.

I have parts from both vendors and overall though I would say the tail light overlay is a recommended item, katana roof blades are optional but I put them on, same with the mirror trim piece shown above.

Spindle grill surround and exhaust finishers would also look good too, I just haven't gotten to it yet, though I don't know if I will, as I teeter on between "less is more", while wanting it all to look fairly uniform but not boring, nor overly done.
Good advice. Thanks. I don't want to over do it, but I would really like to tone down all of the chrome on both ends. I may consider a black wrap on some of it.

I got them from a seller called "jogon" and I made an offer of $55 which they accepted

Or consider the full carbon fiber mirrors that are made in Bulgaria from Lexus mirror covers.

I love that look. How much did it cost for both mirrors? Is it an overlay? Do you mind sharing the link you purchased them from? How long was the shipping time? Thank you in advance.

I purchased these mirrors on eBay in 2020.. They were $899 then. I believe they are $999 now.

They are genuine Lexus LC mirror covers skinned in Carbon Fiber.

I want to say they took 7 days from Bulgaria but that is fast considering they go thru customs .

Tuning Star on eBay sells them and he is good to work with

the link is…

How does the weave and gloss compare to the factory roof panel? (I’m assuming that you have it and not the glass.)

Default Thank you Veight

Veight - Did you install them.yourself or have the dealer do it? If the dealer installed them what was the cost?

It looks to install above the base, that is a 10 minute job to do yourself

Humm... I might be mistaken, but I thought this was a mirror housing replacement, not a stick on cover.

Yes it takes 10 minutes to remove those pieces from the mirror, even if you have to pull the door panel and the base it's not difficult or time consuming, you just have to have the confidence to do it. I don't believe it's required though. I just disassembled the mirror last week to change the turn signal to a sequential one.

Thank NP20412 for the clarification.

I found a YouTube video on how to remove the covers.

Thanks again!

This is the video I used to do it


It doesn't get as far as removing that last black piece (inner mirror housing in piano black) but when I got the top cover and bottom cover off that piece was loose so I'd assume it's just held on to the base by a clip. However that piece also looks like it doesn't change with the carbon fiber one so theoretically you should be able to just leave the stock one on.

Yep, that's the one I found.

If you have one use a screwdriver with a magnetic tip when reassembling. I was putting everything back together and got to the last screw and it slipped and dropped back into the mirror housing. I had to disassemble the whole thing again to get it 😅
