Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers Pic Request

bmw13 · 07-28-2011, 08:12 AM

Looking to see what a black ///M3 looks like with carbon fiber mirrors, I am debating getting them just not sure how they will contrast/ flow with the stock wheel finish of the comp. package wheels since most likely I will NOT have them painted... anything helps and is much appreciated!

Ummm I have only seen ONE 1M in black so far out of Vista, not sure how many more are out there at least here in so fla.

I have a bunch of pictures of the valencia orange I snap before delivery, but no CF. Just get them they can only look better than stock..

Here is a crappy pict of my old 335i with cf mirror covers. I loved how cf looks on black cars because it flows really well with the paint and provides a hint of something special without screaming for attention. I say go for it!

This is my jerez black M3 with carbon fiber mirror covers. Its a nice subtle touch on a black car. You can really only tell when you are up close. I also changed the grill, hood vents, and side marker trim covers to CF. It's cloudy outside today but I hope the pics give you a good idea of what it will look like on your car.

Let me know if you want better pics and i'll take some more on a better day just pm me. i realize the CF is hard to see in these pics.

Pretty sure that is me...Vista Pompano by chance? It was the first and maybe the only car that they were to be allocated.

ahh I see,thanks man,very much appreciated. I am still 50/50 on the mirrors, I just don't feel it is going to match anything else on the car.. I called Pompano yesterday and they said they would have to order them... would you happen to know if you guys have them in stock and readily available ?

You have seen the car in person, what would you do based on the existing theme I have?

-I have tinted the car by now, 15% around
-installed the gloss black grills
-gloss black ///M side markers coming from IND to replace the chrome finishes of stock.
-I will NOT be tinting any headlamp/ tail lamp/ or ///M sidemarker lense
-I will be keeping my wheels the stock finish since I do not want to black it out really, just want it to be uniform and clean.

What would you guys do based on what I have done? Mirrors or no mirrors?!?

the mirror covers from BMW are like 600 bucks plus you have to have them installed or do it yourself, go with what makes you happy, in my case I like the CF appointments but even at my employee cost they are wicked expensive.
But knowing myself I probably will get them for my M LOL.

I want to see CF mirror caps on a Silverstone E90 M3! I'm ordering one by next week and want to see what it looks like with them. They'll definitely contrast though.
