To Carbon or Not to Carbon??

bolinp78 · 07-21-2008, 03:51 PM

Here are some pics of my car. I am trying to decide whether to add some carbon fiber mirror covers. The black parts, such as the splitters, are all carbonfiber, they just look flat black in the pics.

What do you guys think? Poll is provided. P.S. I know I need a drop, but this is just about the mirror covers for now.

Thanks everyone!

I think you should do it, it would work really well with the contrast theme you have right now.

do it

IMO, the vast majority of CF stuff looks cheap once it's on the car.

Looks good. I think the CF mirror caps will fit in very well. Have you considered doing the M-Tech kit? That way, you can do a 3D lip with the CF splitter.

Naw I wouldnt do it, by doing that you are forced to build around those mirrors it's really a preference thing but hey they are covers they can be removed. your car looks hot

Yea. I agree, then I'd be looking at matte black window trim, cf shark fin overlay, etc... to complete the look. And that's not what I want to do. Well, I might end up doing the matte black window trim someday.

Thanks for the compliment
