CF rear view mirrors... Thoughts?
I am really thinking about pulling the trigger but not sure how it would look on my black C63... What do you all think?

Any recommendations?

Are you looking to purchase the entire rear view mirror in CF or just a CF cover? I have posted some pictures of the CF mirror cover installed on my white w204 here. They are cheap and easy to install/remove, so I'd say go for it.

CF covers look tacky.
If you want CF mirrors, you should get CF housings (they replace the OEM mirror covers).

Here is how they on black

Found these for you. Go with the covers i think your car is black and wont be noticeable as much. So maybe take the cheaper product,But would still look good.
Good Luck!

Pricewise they are not THAT different (within $70) and on a black car, you really can't tell much difference. I think the decision is whether or not you want to see CF while you are sitting in the driver's seat.

i would say do the complete housing instead of covers . the complete housing will look flush with the LEDs and the covers will stick out a bit . i compare this to having custom wheels or having custom hubcaps , with the same design , stuck on stock wheels

so where do you get the housings for the updated look?

I bought the covers but I'm not too impressed with the fitment of them.
