Yes. Look brilliant. Could be tempted to part with mine... If the price was right...
Woots, your "shiny" disease is worse than mine! 
those must be dipped, or print effect as the CF ones do not CF the inners, its too hard!
Mine are the real CF, 2x2 weave, laminated to the OEM outers. looks amazing. The CF really shines silvery grey in the light and is the way you can tell the fakes from the real thing. Car is for sale so yes, i would part with these.. cost would be £140. And i would need your old ones.
(They are £156 at Mstyle and theirs are crap + you will wait for ever and that price will about £50 more expensive when you call them)
PM me if you want these bad boys.

Hmmm. i would bet they are a dip job.
The detail just isn't there. Would be interesting to hear where Dalecan got those from.
Compare with mine and there is quite a difference, colour, detail, the way the cf material wraps around the curve, etc.
That said, its a great cheap alternative to the real thing, and looks cool. only the trained eye would spot them.

dalecan's look like the same construction as my matte black ones - they have a front and a back, as opposed to the OEM ones that have inner & outer pieces. You can tell because on the imola shots you'll see a line down the slats, clearer on the right hand side of the middle photo... And no line on Mark's. It's the only thing that annoys me about aftermarket, but you can't see it from a few feet away. So I reckon dalecan's may well be real cf fronts, but the backs are matte black. WLH's are the best aftermarket ones I gave seen close ups of, as they look OEM... They were pricey though IIRC.
Guys you're correct, mine aren't real. That said you really can't tell the difference unless you get up close and personal. I got them off fleabay, from ukstylings (a Hong Kong based company), for $75. They are one piece and a great light fit. I think they're a very cheap alternative.
