    Mirror cap recommendations

    Has anyone bought aftermarket carbon fiber mirror caps that look close to oem and have good fitment? I ordered some from Canadian auto Performance and they are TERRIBLE fitment! It’s pathetic. The lane assist cutout isn’t even close to being the right size. Stay away from that site. Also, they don’t accept returns. On my previous rs3, I had oem cf caps and they fit perfect. Just wasn’t trying to spend $650 again. I appreciate any recommendations!

    If I ever do mirrors I would undoubtedly go with the smaller aftermarket APR carbon mirrors and by the way, I am not talking about APR from GOAPR that make tunes and other parts for the Audi/porsche/VW, I am talking about a carbon fiber company that specializes on carbon fiber stuff. TheAPR mirrors are completely hollow with a beautiful blue finish mirror(I think they also have yellow), they weight nothing and the footprint is minimal, it is the size of a fist.

    The Genuine Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps will provide you with the best quality & fitment when compared to many cheaper aftermarket alternatives.

    We have both the gloss & matte versions available for https://www.partsbytopher.com/produc...n&_ss=e&_v=1.0purchase, if anyone is looking.

    Definitely one of the more pricier options, however they quickly pay for themselves in lasting finish and reduced downtime.

    don’t get anything other than oem mirror caps. all of the aftermarket options and I mean ALL yellow, delaminate, and fall apart after the first year. if you’re parking outside, call it 6 months. and the fitment will always be way off.
