I don't understand the desire to cover everything in carbon fiber. I think it looks good when it serves a functional purpose as a lightweight part, such as a full hood or fender. But when it's just for looks I don't really like it. Probably would look better on a dark color car though.

Is that just a piece of CFRP attached to the stock side view mirrors? Something similar to what Zele Performance released for the Z34 a while back?

If so, then no thanks. I'd rather get a real carbon fiber mirror replacement. It might look good, but this CFRP piece only adds weight, instead of trying to achieve what most enthusiasts use carbon fiber for.

Agreed. Just buying covers seems kind of cheesy to me.
