Default CF roof antenna cap & mirror covers!!!

Has anyone tried this carbon fiber roof antenna cap? Never understood the whole carbon theme everyone is so crazy about but lately i've been thinking it looks pretty cool, plus it's functional in certain applications. Apparently it's made of "real carbon fiber". It's $90, and wondering if anyone has purchased it. Also, theres these carbon fiber mirror covers that look pretty cool too. Has anyone purchased any of these products? If so, can you guys post a picture of it on your car please? Thanks!!!

Thanks for the info. I like them so I ordered both.

Will post pics after install.

The side mirrors should arrive soon as it's from a vendor in CA.

The shark fin attenna is from Taiwan, ROC and will take a while.

LOL that was quick. Let me know how they work and how good the quality is! Thanks for taking one for the team!

Just FYI, it goes against OEM CF weave. Try putting a note to match the OEM direction.

Interesting points.

If my RCF DID NOT come with any OUTSIDE CF, then I don't think whatever direction of the mirror caps/shark fin CF weaves will matter.

However, I will have to put these on to see how all these will look like. I will most likely have to wrap the base of the mirrors. I already got some vinyl CF wraps and will keep my fingers crossed hoping all these will "match". 😞😞😞

Where do you get these and how much?

The ones I just ordered are "supposedly" real CF. But the base of the mirrors are not covered.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
