If anyone is interested in taking these off my hands feel free to private message me and I can send you photos and will let them go at a very fair price. They have zero damage, no scratches, and are basically brand new as they were only on my car for two weeks. I experienced the same fitment issues as Kenneth so as long as you are aware of those. I paid $179 for the pair (with blind spot cut outs).
Florett Silver really is an issue with the A4/S4 because everything blends with it. The chrome trim, the aluminum mirrors, the badges, even the lights, etc.

I think if you want to make it stand out, go out and get the Dupli-Color Shadow Chrome Black-Out Paint kit, and take your chrome pieces/side mirror and paint them with that. If you do it right you'll get a very nice dark contrasting chrome that isn't black that will give you that contrast you need.

Thanks for the idea!

Default Carbon Fiber ECS Mirror Caps

Just bought a 2017 Glacier White A4 Premium Plus. Ordered the carbon fiber rear lip spoiler and thinking about adding the carbon fiber mirror caps. I think the carbon fiber against the white will look awesome.

Default Carbon fiber Mirror cover and Spoiler from China Taobao... Cheap and good!

Guys, seems to me the price to buy a carbon fiber mirror cover at your hometown is very expensive?!
I have just received my Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Mirror cover from Taobao (Under Alibaba group). Both items cost less than SGD $300 (about USD224). And to my surprise, the quality are quite good!
After reading Kenneth's post, I am confident to do the installation myself tonight. Will keep you guys updated for my new mod. Pictures will be uploaded soon~

Here are some photos of the mirror cover after I installed yesterday... actually not very easy to install. Must be very patient.
Sorry about the website as it is broken. It is all in chinese because is it from China. lol... Below are another supplier I found but I am not sure if it can be shipped to your country.
