Recommendations for Carbon Accessories M6
Bought crappy knockoff carbon grilles and mirror caps about a year ago and they're SHOT. Grille turned yellow and badge is melted, and the mirror cap clearcoats faded completely. Recs for decent stuff that's not $800? I like the RW Grilles but they don't come with the M6 badge and they no longer carry the mirror caps.

these came in after I destroyed my engine. I did unbox them but have not gone on the car yet. Looking forward to putting them on after I get that forged engine powered F06 out of the shop.

The price point on the RW grille is very attractive but I'll likely end up with the IND grille as I have the Night Vision system. The buy in price is a bit absurd though and will likely have my rear axles done by DSS first. I'll save the grilles as the cherry, err carbon, on top of my cool whip sundae, err Sunday, driver

Can't wait to see how you photograph the car with the new carbon bits. Are you going to do some wall art with the old bits?

Hopefully you guys have far better luck with the mirror caps from Autoteknic than I did. The fitment was a 6/7 out of 10 on 3 different sets. Autoteknic is relatively close to me so I was able to return them easy enough and they were very accommodating exchanging them for new sets with the hope of better fitment. I even went to a shop that they recommended to have them installed and the installer had a devil of a time with them before ultimately throwing in the towel.
Again, Autoteknic were very pleasant to deal with, but the fitment just wasn't there. When I returned the last set they mentioned letting their mold guy know of the issues with fitment, so depending on when you purchased yours, they may be newer revisions; this was earlier in the year. RW Carbon stopped making theirs for this very reason. The fitment was just never right and they discontinued the entire line as a result. The mirror caps were the last piece of me making all things Carbon Fiber that can be (I'm a bit of a CF junkie with all of my cars). I have since given up on that journey and had the mirrors painted black, with the painted black strip on the door handles to complement them. I did have the entire door handle painted in all black at one point but decided to go back to white with the black strip, which I think looks better.

I thought it was just me with the Autoteknic carbon mirror caps. One had a broken mounting clip when it arrived but it still appeared to fit snug. When I get up to speed, the wind gushing sound on that one starts.

JDMSteven, JL-motoring appears to have full replacement CF mirror caps as well.
h0tb0y_andres, can you share more pics and specs of your car, suspension, etc.? |

I have the Autotechnic caps and havent installed yet either as I am waiting for my engine and clutch work to be done. I have been looking for a grille as well but need it to support the NightVision.
