Here's your options:

FAKE Carbon Fiber (these look exceptionally fake, as well)

or...

Real Carbon Fiber (but the mirror is pod-style)

There aren't any OEM style Carbon Fiber mirrors, that are real. Just so you know.

I think there's carbon fiber spoon style replicas around. Not sure if they're real carbon fiber though.

Just searched, and you'll find them for EGs or EKs (again, im referring to the spoon style mirrors). Can't find them for 7th gens.

Now that I mention this, I bought my car with spoon mirrors on (not the carbon fiber ones, but the regular ones), and I noticed right away that they were prolly used on a previous gen civic and then put on my car, so maybe you can adapt them. Doesn't look bad.

This is just if you still want to go with a different style. If you want the perfect fit, go OEM.
