Default Carbon Fiber Mirror Skins (Opinions Please)

Has anyone installed the American Muscle carbon fiber mirror skins on their car? If so, do you like the look? Anyone else have an opinion on the look--good or bad?

I have the Trufiber CF skins on the mirrors and love them. I have an Alloy metallic so the CF actually blends really nice with the color. Some people hate the CF on mustangs, and others are ok with it, mainly Shelby =)

i like em.....

i would actually say also they they are more of a cover then a skin...the material piece itself is a solid cap that attaches with 3m tape and not a flimsy piece of material that you lay on there.....

i like em :-)

+1. I hate carbon fiber, whether it's real or fake. Just looks cheesy and overplayed.

some cars can really pull it off, then some cars really cant. i think its an awesome idea. but like most exterior car parts it needs painting.

It's your ride, do whatever you think looks good. Don't worry about what anyone else does or doesn't like. You'll drive yourself crazy.
