Honestly, I have considered this option over and over but I love to road race and I'm concerned with the heat build up. When they get a few cars out there on the road circuit and they are doing well I may consider it again. However, I gotta pay to get this crazy project out of the body shop.

Damn that looks good, so much better than the old widebody! Thanks for the comparison.
Curious to see what the rear door looks like when its opened and the new body work?

Change to?? I already have the C/F covers on the stock mirrors. 
I used all the stock OEM parts and painted them like the BS without the C/F trim package. If you want to purchase the C/F covers that go over all the black areas you can but they are VERY expensive and when you road race like I do painting is much more cost effective than replacing C/F parts. For instance, the rear bumper C/F cover is $6580.00. Not worth it to me. The small side panel parts that cover the black were $830.00 each. You get my drift. Oh, and to make matters more challenging they are not available anyway.

After 2009, they changed the side mirrors and made it look better! You can get the 2012 Mirrors and put the CF cover on them (cost $100 on eBay). The 2009 look a little bit outdated IMO, but of course it's your car!

With your suggestion you still need to acquire the 10+ mirrors (not sure on cost).
My suggestion is the entire mirror housing with LED.

update:
Yes, its filthy and the grill is not snapped in place but you get the idea. They still have a few more days to go.
Its not on the ground yet.

Maybe you already mentioned this before, and I apologize if you did, but what are those two small rectangular grilles on the bumper above the regular air dams?

Waiting for my boxes to be modified.
Those two small holes are brake duct holes or road racing. There was another thread with that information.
