Affordable cf mirrors in 2x2?

Anyone have suggestions on which aftermarket carbon fiber mirrors in 2x2 weave? I am not sure covers will do it on a white car so I am more looking for full replacements. Is there other options than the 7-800$+ ones?

Auto technik is a good route. Unfortunately there aren't many companies that make full cover replacements. I'd just go OEM since it's right at eye level when you get close to the car....

3AMotor on eBay has full CF replacements (even the "wing" piece is CF, unlike OEM).

If you're looking for other options.

I have autotecknic replacement caps, I got them for I believe $230 new. Fitment is 8-9/10. Easy install, i recommend them. I've had them on for a few months now and no damage from the sun or chips.

These are cool. Must be out of stock though. Can't find them on their ebay store.

No issues whatsoever. Had them on almost 4 years. Can't beat the price compared to OEM.
