All are CORRECT!!! EXCEPT NO FOG LIGHTS.

The outside mirrors and the shark fin are REAL carbon fiber. The outside mirrors were shipped from Cali so got to me quickly. But the shark fin came from Taiwan and took a while. Lucky for me, these matched closely even though cane from two totally different vendors.

No fog lights!! THEY ARE DEER WHISTLES (wind activated). These are SUPPOSED TO GET THE DEERS "FREEZ" AND LOOK AROUND INSTEAD OF RUNNING TOWARDS MY CAR!! So far so good.

​​​​​In most parts of MS/TN/AL during deer hunting season, there are more deers than the human population!!!

^^^^I have LED fogs on my ISF. And, believe me, it's not about looks. But, I know that the Triple Beam RCF has Great headlights, so I guess the subject is mute.

I drive my RCF mostly in rural areas middle of nowhere in the Bible belt. ANY EXTRA lights will be beneficial especially right around sunrise/sunset. So far I have not found any fog lights that I can safely secure to the RCF AND THROWS OUT a decent amount of light. So in the Backcountry roads I use my high beams until an oncoming traffic and then I did down to low beams.

Where did you get the mirrors? And was it hard to change them?

Sun shields in the garage? To protect from prying eyes?

I got it on eBay.

Easy to stick them on.

The fitment was NOT precise. All good EXCEPT I can still see a very thin line of about 1 mm vertically on the mirror housing next to the window glass. If your car is a dark color, it will hide better. But since my car us Ultra white, it is there (only looking from the driver's seat position inside looking out). . I'm ok with it. The base (stalk) of mirrors are not included. I just use carbon fiber look alike vinyl which closely matched the CF mirrors. Probably easier and cheaper to just do it all in vinyl?

Similar problem for the shark fin attenna I ordered from another vendor on eBay. There is a very thin 1 mm line/gap at the base.

Here is a link for the mirrors ($109):

CF shark fin mock up with CF mirrors and CF vinyl wrap comparison.







Here is the link for the shark fin ($89):

Probably don't need it, but just a habit to put them up. My windshield is tinted with 3M Crystalline (80%, I think?) Plus more all around (40%, I think?). Can't ask for any more UV protection!!! LOL 😁
