Default M-style carbon side mirrors RCF

I think that lexus has done a fabulous job with the RCF, as well as the redesigned refresh, that cars lines are aggressive and loud. One problem if i had to point out with the RCF is the side mirror design, its less of an issue with the refreshed models, i actually like them, but more of a problem with the pre facelift, i feel as the side mirrors really don't flow with the lines of the car, as well as lexus being lazy kind of, putting the same side mirrors on all of their sedan and sport models. Well ladies and gentlemen i think i may have found the solution, i found these replacements on ebay, they are carbon fiber cap replacement, and are the M-style ( BMW ) mirrors, which to me are one of the best looking designs on the market today, the reviews are really good, and price is too good to pass up, o ordered a pair hoping to get what is in the picture and reviews, i will definitely post my impressions once they arrive and are on the car.

Nice, I bought the same off eBay and although they copy the BMW M-style I still like how they flow on the RCF.

I put the same on my car as well. It really makes the car stand out. I think for the price, it's a no brainer and super easy install to transform the look even more.

The finish is great and I didn't see any imperfections in the weave. Just make sure you put a nice coat of wax over them to protect them from sun fade.

I don't have that style, but I did buy carbon fiber mirror covers from eBay. Yes, it is real carbon fiber and quality is excellent. The fitment is not perfect, but good enough for me.

The real deal with TRD:
TRD RC F Aerodynamic Mirror Cover Set (japantunedparts.com)




Not a fan honestly of this style on our cars. BMW's look good with their mirrors but this looks like a weird add on honestly.
