Default carbon fiber or not

i need some opinions on if I should get carbon fiber mirriors on my car or not...at the moment i dont have any carbon fiber so it will be the first, but im thinking sooner or later mabey going with a carbon front lip, if i dont tho i can still paint the mirriors, but ya,do u think it will match now with nothing else carbon fiber but with my headlights,side skirt things,and side moldings and windows black..here are some pics of my car now and the mirriors i might get..thanks

Looks cool but a little ricey, but in the end it is what you like.

if u think about it...CF really matches with anything on a car unless u have chrome rims etc. looks a little rice but if you get a CF lip kit, hood etc they will look good..CF is always good

Id say its alright. If it were me I would only get real carbon fiber ones and make sure they werent painted to look like carbon fiber. But its your car, and if you like em, want em, and have the money, who cares what anyone else thinks.

More than likely they are not real carbon fiber. Don't get fooled by some of these places. Probably plastic with gray squares printed on it. If they are real, they are expensive.

Really exspensive... for example, if you see a CF hood for under $250 new, run like hell.

The reason I consider it rice is because it serves really no purpose but just looks, dont get me wrong it looks cool, but I would never buy it.

I dig the the aftermarket mirrors like that, but without CF. If you're going to get CF everything else, then it could look good. Be like the cliffdiver, envision the entire thing, beginning to end.
