Mixing carbon fibre with gloss black parts?
Hi all
I wanted to get people's thoughts on mixing carbon fibre side mirrors with eBay aftermarket splitters (glossy), gloss black grille and ppf black the top on a mineral white car. Cheers |

I think it will look fine, the genuine parts are gloss black and the show car had both parts

I chose high gloss mirror caps to match bottom assembly. I ordered the part and had it installed at a body shop. Careful who you choose, mirror glass is very expensive to replace if cracked. Cost was $400 for parts and labor.

Seeing as I have the rear spoiler in CF, I think the side mirrors in CF will look quite nice.
What are peoples opinions on the kidney grille in gloss black vs cf? |

I agree. Go with cf over gloss if you already have the spoiler and like poster above me has said gloss grille over a carbon for me as it's just too much.
