Carbon Mirror Caps That Don't Whistle?

Hello! Can anyone recommend a vendor for M-style carbon winged mirror caps. Good quality and fitment only with minimal wind noise please! Can't stand the whistling that you get from cheap ones at 40-55 mph as I drive with windows down often. And please don't recommend RW Carbon : They don't stand behind their products as advertised. Thanks!

I guess less agressive ones would equal less wind noise. If you are willing to wait until I get these delivered and I can give my opinion

Don't see a carbon option but would still be interested in gloss black if it means less noise. Thanks! Looking forward to your review.

The non-wing 2 Series mirror caps shouldn't whistle, if mine are anything to go by. These are the UK AutoID CF caps. Personally, I think that gloss black would have looked just as good, but weren't available back in 2016 when I got these. FYI they've weathered well and are still looking good. Current CF price GBP £189.95 and they also do a wing mirror tool kit for £9.95

Thank you! I have the black ones but would like to upgrade to carbon. Will check em out! Wanted the winged style but if the oem style has no whistles then it's an easy choice.
