I am considering going for these items in Carbon or maybe just the mirrors.

I think it will go well with the dark wheels, can anyone photoshop these changes please?

Thanks!

Thanks, I am more unsure of the ducts but think the mirrors could look good.

here is some of our carbon mirrors that we installed on a 2004 turbo cab last week. Look really good and go great on a car with black wheels.

The mirrors look nice, but I would pass on the ducts...especially on a silver car.

I saw the ducts on a silver GT2 at VMax last weekend, and it looked SO bad. I mean really ghetto. Please don't do it, it completely ruins the car. It's impossible to put into words how cheesy it looks.

Found a pic:

Agree with NOT having the intake completely done in carbon.

Black wheels with CF mirrors will be nice, i think CF intake will be too much

Just give you an idea

I agree...... I hate the ducts in Carbon Fiber...... I would however like to see someone get the ducts in carbon fiber and paint the complete edging all the way around the same color as the body and just leave the inside of it carbon fiber. Kind of similar to how I had my intake done on my 350z but I had it molded as well.

Those ducts really don't look good, but I have heard of the inside of the ducts insert being done, and that might look pretty good. You can see our mirrors on our website @
