Carbon Fiber Mirror Shells?

Are the carbon fiber mirror shells that they sell on ebay any good? Or does anyone sell full carbon replacement mirrors? I am doing the rear carbon diffuser, and front carbon diffuser on a white car, and was considering this as the only other carbon accent.

Any input would be appreciated.

I got mine off Ebay, too.

They look great on your black car. I would love to see a pic of them on a white car. Just don't want them to look cheap on my white car, given the contrast.

I think with the other cf accents it will be ok...I have seen a white C or E on here with the CF mirror covers...try a advanced search...

I got mine from Ebay, as well, and with the red 3M tape, you shouldn't have any problems
