Question Are these Carbon Mirrors Good?

I ran across these mirrors on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT and wondered if they were any good. Also, what would be the best way to wire up the signals? I'd rather not have the signals, but that seems to be a pretty good price for carbon.

Thanks

My brother bought some that look exactly like that for his SRT-4. They work fine but personally I don't like them as they are just cheap plastic and look it (I'm not a fan of the fake carbon fiber look).

If you look hard enough you can find the MS gandor mirrors in CF, but they'll run you a pretty penny. I personally plan on getting some regular unpainted MS mirrors and painting them all black.

Thanks for comments, I was afraid that they would look cheap. The auction didn't mention that they were fake carbon, but for that price they can't be too good.

Well, apart from the fake carbon look, if these mirrors are otherwise decent, then maybe they'd be fine when painted to body color.
These are not breakaway-style, that's a minus but I believe the Mazdaspeed / Ganador ones aren't either.

Edit: in the meantime I saw that the same seller offers these in black as well. From the photo, it looks the surface is that shiny black plastic thing that I don't like, but painted they could look OK... wish I'd know if they are any good otherwise.
