Any thoughts? Anyone have? They are on the Graham Rahal RDX

I have an opinion, but I am not sure you want to hear it.

Like most purchases we make, it's really just a personal value judgment, right? If you feel mirror covers that look "pretty cool" are worth what these cost, great. I personally do not, but that's why having choices is a good thing.

For real carbon fiber the price is not too high, basically OEM price if Acura offered them. The CF pieces on Graham RDX look like carbon fiber wrap IMHO.....

I think carbon fiber mirror caps probably only increase your horsepower by 2 or 3. Better investment to get the red caliper covers which will boost you at least by 5.

I basically spend $10,000 extra on the 2020 advance model instead of the base because I like cooled seats (and I actually need AWD), so my opinion should be weighed carefully. I do like the caps and I like my heated seats. Would I buy the caps? No but I can see why people like them. It is an interesting contrast.

Avoid deviating from a stock RDX. Its already a good looking SUV and you dont wanna regret tacky installs 4 years from now.
