Thumbs up Custom carbon fiber mirror covers

Hi,

As you may already know, I have a thing for Carbon fiber, I think it looks beautiful and complement nicely the Matador Red... Anyhow, after the great quality job I received from John at Spawn Aerodynamics for my interior I gave him another shot for some more parts starting with the mirror covers.


The result is, again, fantastic; the weave is very strait, the CF wraps nicely at the edges,
the clear coat nice and consistent without any pitting, the part is just slightly thicker than the OEM, but fitment is perfect.


Next is the fog light covers...
(Like my grille ?)


The CF weave in direct sunlight...

Looks great...

You should wrap the grille surround, fog light covers, and the door chrome molding in the carbon fiber. Then black out you headlights.

=) That would flow awesome in that color...

incredible! it makes the matador red color that much more exotic i think. it goes very well with the CF pillars in the pics as well.

I never was a fan of the red IS-F color but in shade it looks good for sure. The CF accents definitely help give it a sportier appearance, nice job!

Great! I keep them discreet, not sticking out too much and aligned with the body in the wheel arch (pic 3). Next is the fog light covers !
