    Carbon Fiber Mirrors

    Does anyone have any experience with this vendor, and their carbon fiber mirrors?

    I'd suggest you call them. If they answer the phone promptly and you get reasonable answers to reasonable questions (are they in stock, is the finish matte or glossy, where are they made, what is your return policy, etc.), then it may be worth giving them a try.

    Plus free shipping to the U.S.!! Really does seem to good to be true, considering what others charge for these c.f. parts. For the $$, I'd say it's worth giving them a shot (after contacting them and doing a bit of research of course).

    LOL! That's exactly what I did. They should be here soon.

    I was just wondering about the mirrors from this vendor since they are so much cheaper than anyone I've seen. I think they are a supporting vendor for Audizine.com site.

    Be careful. I tried to buy front side grill CF fins from CFPro in Hong Kong and they have had my money for 90 days and I have no product. Sometimes I am stupid and don't do enough research before I send money :-(

    That sucks! I feel for you. Their site looks totally legit, but I guess you never can tell.

    Hopefully they are just delayed.

    The way I get round this if I don't know the vendor is to get them to list it on eBay and then if they renage I use the guarantee to get my money back, no question..
