Carbon Mirrors or covers?

Anyone have a source for carbon side mirrors or carbon covers for the stock mirrors?

Just let me know if anyone would like overlaid covers, I've done a couple hundred for BMW and MINI but I'm not sure if the Fit ones are easy to replace.

I do already offer items for the Fit on this site and since I try to keep them at or near my wholesale prices I could overlay the covers for around $100 to $120 a set. I would need the actual covers to overlay and I've found them available already painted but it would be better and cheaper if I could find them unpainted. If anyone has an idea of where to find these I can look into it.

So these would be overlays that go over top of the OE piece instead of a replace ment a la the rear garnish correct? for 100-120 I would be down for a pair.

Most of the covers I do for other cars or OEM parts that are overlaid with carbon and sold as replacement parts, thus your original mirror covers would be removed. If the originals were in good reusable condition I could overlay those and request the cores from the next much as with the rear garnish. I have done some thin caps in the past that attach to the stock mirrors via double stick tape, but I really don't care for doing it this way since the fit is never exact and you can see that it is a cap from the edge.
