The weave and part thickness is similure to that found at http://www.thezstore.com/ cept they use a thinner 3m tape that is thinner but sticks as good or better.




Gotta love 3m.

Can you take a picture from the mirror side. Im curious how these types of covers look from that side. Like if you have a red z will you see the red from the mirror side or do these covers go over the lip where the mirror is?

Sorry if the pic of my Asuka mirror covers was corn fused but this is just about the J panel on the side. I put the Asuka's on for a second to show what they would look like together. I have not put my Asuka mirrors on yet but they only cover that top and outer side. When looking at the mirror I see the white inside. The only way to get rid of that is to completly change the entire mirror or line the inner side of the mirror with a thin CF custom sheet. Thanks for getting me into this topic though cuss I honestly did not think of anything to do in there but I could cut a CF strip and 3m the inner lip.

Don't think this about the mirrors but that triangle panel behind the mirror. Would match up well if you had some B Pillar CB overlays as well I think.
