Looks pretty damn good. Still not as angular as I'd like for the wing, but it's better than mine.

Garage List
Do these snap on like the OEM or do these use the double sided tape, and do they sell the standard version and not the M4 version?

Forget the double sided tape versions, appearance is limp and lousy, you would regret that.
First time to see the bigger new wing live at a car. Nice and looks clean - even its a 3

Sorry to hear.

Unfortunately as stated many times, that’s what you get far to often from these places for 25% of the cost.

Should not melt under either of the conditions you list.

Is it possible to just have the mirror caps vinyl wrapped? I was looking into gloss black ones and they'll run me ~80$. I was gonna get my roof wrapped and was going to see if they can just vinyl wrap the OEM caps.

Sure, it would be really easy!

Did you pick a place already in Philly?
