CF wrap on mirrors, or CF covers? pics...

I wrapped my mirror caps in carbon fiber. Just wondering (a) what you all think, and (b) if I should just go with the pre-made covers instead. I like the way my mirrors came out, but I've never seen the real CF covers in person to see if they looked any better.

I did it myself, and I am going to do the roof next week. I used to own a car wrap shop, so I just bought the material from my old partner. I'll find out what kind it is.

The thing I like about the material is that it's a matte finish, but super easy to keep clean. And since it's an actual car wrap material, it's easy to shrink stretch......but mirrors suck to wrap no matter what, LOL.

I have the OEM CF ones on mine and I like them. But they look better without chrome trimming imo
