What kind of tape for iCarbon Mirror Overlays?

Satalite · 02-18-2011, 10:35 PM

Let me know when iCarbon responds. The mirror overlays should fit perfectly flush up to the black molding? Here is the tape on ebay

1speedbike, where did you get that tape? I don't want a gap either[/QUOTE]

I didn't use tape I used trim adhesive glue. No gap at all

I don't know what the single reviewer (2 star) is smoking, but mine are on as tight as ever..

Nice! I'll use that! Seems like perfect fit without worrying about thickness thanks.

I got mine at autozone. I was told it'll be a bitch to take off but I don't really plan to take it off. Even just applying thin strips of it around the edges and corners worked great, no need to messily glob it on all over the whole cap and it still holds awesome.

Great to hear! I'm assuming you have iCarbon ones too ?

Following up on this project. I went with 1speedbike's preference and bought the 3M trim adhesive because I did not want the space problem with the CF Overlay fitments that people have been having with the 3rd party products.

I used CF Overlays from iCarbon. Below I have a picture of the 3M Trim Adhesive that I used plus some pics of after and the fitments. I put the glue on the inside of the CF overlays not directly on the mirrors. After I fitted them properly I used duct tape and wrapped them tight around for around 4-5 hours to let the glue set.

Enjoy!

I took lots of pics for those people that like pictures!
