Chrome/Brushed Aluminum Mirror Caps
I know there have been several posts regarding this, but I was interested in replacing the original mirror caps with these They're from goingfast.org, pretty reasonable pricing ($119 + S&H), but they're chrome, I was looking for something similar to the S/RS-line with the brushed aluminum/matte finish. Does anyone know of any place that actually sells brushed aluminum caps? I could always get the OEM caps from an RS6 but that's about $600. If I was to get these chrome mirror caps, would I be able to lightly sand them to give that brushed look without damaging the material?
Thanks for the help.

you could achive the "brushed" look by lightly scuffing the chrome with a scotchbrite pad or like 800 grit or higher sandpaper then spraying some clear over it to set and make cleaning easier

That website doesn't work when I try to open it. Maybe later. I've been looking for some brushed ones but it's near impossible to find them and Audi is crazy to sell them for $600 bucks. I've always thought about taking it to a local paint shop and having them paint the caps with a brushed aluminum color? Probably way cheaper than buying them.
