Wasn't too sure if I'd like the CF overlays. Will leave them on for a while and see if they grow on me. They are just vinyl stickies. Textured vs just a "print", though.

You can find black along with any other color pretty easily.
I actually had one side black, which I did like better, but the solid color vinyl is so much thinner than the CF that it showed more underlying imperfections up close.
From further away, you can't tell the difference between the two. Up close, the black will def blend better, but the whole point of CF is to show the look of the weave/contrast right? At least that's what I keep telling myself. If I do change my mind, I will have a batch of black ones made.

BTW, I have two extra sets of the CF vinyl if anyone is interested. PM me if so.

You bought them pre-cut? Or DIY?

Can you PM me on the extra CF covers please? I will reply back - I cannot send you a PM right now for some reason...?

I think it looks sharp, and as you said, get tired of it just pull it off and chuck it.

Cool

Forgot to post pics of these, but after washing my car this weekend I took a couple quick phone pics - I am not too into modding cars at this point, but do not really like all the clear on the mirrors and do like minor touches like these.

Thanks again Doanster, appreciate you offering them up
