So I came home tonight and on the counter was a white box with Chinese writing on it
I opened it up, and carefully wrapped were my LED mirror covers
I had ordered them from ebay on January 4th for $69.00 + $35 to ship them. It took 6 days to arrive via HK post parcel mail (it was shipped out on the 8th according to the tracking number online).
These are the ABS plastic ones, and I ordered them from eBay member "motorparts07". Here is a link:
eBay Motors: Chrysler 300 300C SRT8 Mirror Cover ABS w/ Signal Light (item 360013522610 end time Jan-20-08 07:45:35 PST)
I ran downstairs and put it on the left side first.. and it fit... PERFECTLY.. Then I thought "sh*t, the other side better not have a 1" gap"... lol..so I put the right side on, and it fit, PERFECTLY again.
i was amazed, since Ive read horror stories about how some people got them and were 1" shorter on the right side.
I am very happy that both sides fit nicely with absolutely no gap!!! I believe the reason people are having trouble fitting these are because you have body colored mirrors, or chrome mirrors, and I think these were designed to fit non-chrome and non-body color mirrors. (I have the base model- no body color, not foldable).
They came bubble wrapped, not a single scratch or crack on them. The covers are gray (apparently primed and ready to be painted) but I will sand them with really fine sand paper before getting it painted (though they feel pretty smooth). The LEDs are already off (separately bubble wrapped) so it has literally no prepping before painting.
I plan to get them painted this coming weekend, and get them installed around the end of this month with the help of MR.I
All in all, I think these are very well priced and I could not be happier with the fitment.
Here are some pics, courtesy of my crappy 0.3mgp cell phone cam:
By the way, I know the fiber glass ones have a nicer looking LED, but FB is more fragile, and people had the most fitment issues with those. I looked at several Mercedes today (C class, CLK, etc) and these LEDs that I got are actually nearly identical.
Ready to be painted, 3M double sided tape already attached.
If you are thinking about purchasing these.. DO IT.. do not wait.
I will post painted/installed pictures as soon as I get them on.
