I think they would look good on a black car of a cark grey car....just my .02

I personally really like the dash trim kits for the interior. A lot of Roush's came with the interior kit & look awesome! Just like above, to me it also matters what color the interior is.

Good luck!

i'm new to mustangs (getting one soon ) I've been a sport compact guy until now and cf can work but it has been done sooooo much and i had carbon accents on my subaru wrx and honestly i don't like it. the only thing i might go carbon for on the mustang is the hood and then i'll prolly get it painted. but again as others have said its your car and if you like it awesome thats all that matters.

No, it just looks bad. Blame the pocket rocket guys for glorifiying carbon fiber. It is supposed to be used for losing weight while maintaining some strength. Even the car builders in Japan are painting over carbon fiber now (to avoid any 'rice' qualities).

if your going to spend that much on a mirror cover, you might as well get the painted mirror covers. At least then it will match your car.

using painted cf is more for weight applications, nothing practical.
