Default I heard there was a bubbling prob with the satin caps...

I can't recall entirely but I think it started up around 3000 miles after purchase with some people who bought them. Do a search and you should find it. It ws on AZ too.

Default 100%K had that issue on them w/ his A4 Cab

I was considering them until I heard about that....since that's the case, i'll just spend a little bit more and go OEM

Default It's really cool how condensation forms on the aluminum in the morning.

I guess the temps the aluminum holds VS plastic causes condensation to stick to the mirror housings.

Default I got my chrome caps from parts4euro.com and after 1+ year they still look new - no issues.

I'm old skool - love chrome (to an extent).
