JP Carbon - Side Mirror Cap Replacements

[shouldbeasy]

Has anyone ordered these? I have an inquiry in to confirm that they will fit my ST.

I'll probably end up grabbing a set as they are relatively price comparable to a black set locally.

Wat.


But seriously, I received a reply back from JP Carbon's rep and apparently they do fit the FiST. So... I'll be placing an order for these guys - I need replacement mirror caps anyways and so I guess I'll be the test dummy and be (what appears to be) the first to pull the trigger on these.

Updates will follow when I have them in my hands.

It looks good but I don't see myself spending $100+ on mirror caps

Ya, I hear ya there.

New ones are $40 for black ones - then you have to get them painted (or leave em black). So... Why not try these. The FiST isn't going to be sold anytime soon so I'll add bits of 'flair' here and there.

And it turns out that they're crap.

CF weave seems to be of quality but the fit was WAY off. Couldn't get them to fit no matter how much I struggled. The curve around the back of the housing was off, no way to make it fit. Going to be pushing for a refund - word to the wise, stay away from JP Carbon.

Can you post some pictures?

Be advised that the Fiesta caps are sold for use on mirrors with or without marker lights.
Make sure you get the correct ones.

Sorry to bump an old thread, been looking at these myself and it seems like they are made to fit over top of the existing mirror cap so that may be why you are having the fitment issue if you are trying to use these as a replacement. I may try to buy a set, but I will make sure they are for the mirror caps with signals first and get a guarantee from the seller that they will fit the USDM fiesta ST. Did you ever get things sorted out with JP Carbon?

there was no way that they would fit over the old ones. The issue was that they curved too far inwards and I could not flex them far enough out get them around the outside of the cap or to align the mounting tabs. They were just really poorly done.

Buy at your own risk - I can pretty much guarantee they won't fit.

Sorry for the big delay - I never saw this post.

I can't post any pictures as I just ended up tossing these while cleaning up the garage. I attempted one last go at it and cracked the CF while stretching them out trying to get them to bend. I think I first applied some heat just for shits and giggles... nothing worked to get them even remotely close to fitting.

Okay, I sent a message to one of the ebay sellers confirming fitment, but I'll probably just pass this up.

Edit: Got Confirmation from the seller that it is for the "JDM" market only...hopefully the CF eyebrows I ordered earlier in the week will still work...
