yah, id have to wrap it around 180 degrees for the leading edges. this is why i asked if the caps were easy to remove. i think they sell adhesion promoter too, which would help the edges wrapped inside the mirror cap from lifting.

Cf mirror caps

You guys should try the 4D CF wrap. When I couldn't find anyone who would wrap my headlights with real CF I used this for the meantime. Still have plans to do real CF but this has worked just fine.

This is the exact one I got:

Orion 4D Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KSZ5F5C..._-EZEvbNN5DJFD

You can't beat that for ~$35 shipped Prime!

Cf mirror caps

You get more of the CF depth, texture and a better gloss finish. I wish I had a comparison for you guys but I let the guy who did my headlights keep my 4D wrap. When I get a chance after work I'll see if I can get a good shot of the headlights next to some 3M CF wrap for comparison.

Looks very similar to the real stuff.

Wow this looks amazing I think for the. Small amount of money it's worth a shot ....I'm going to buy it and do a roof wrap I currently have a black roof wrap right now but this will go better the other carbon fiber parts that I bought( rear spoiler door handles B pillars)... thanks for the great idea and info I will let you know and post pictures on the end result
