Default Carbon fiber side view mirror???

Just curious if anyone here would be interested in some real CF side view mirrors. Just like the one seen on this members car.

It's cool and all but doesn't match with the car, unless you have an all black /dark grey color then it might look okay. I'm not a big fan of CF wrap either, it's just me, others may like it more

Default Hell yes

I'm actually trying to find out how I can get my hands on a pair for my 07 IS350. The only ones I've found online are for Japanese and European RHD models, and won't fit US LHD models. What'll it take?

with some modification, probably yes. Are you just after the CF look ? Why not get it painted CF or do a wrap instead ? may cost less but for sure a lot less problem

I love the look of CF, and I have a Starfire Pearl IS350, which my wife LOATHES. So I'm trying to add some CF accents to the car to cut some of the starkness of the white car. But it has to be real CF.
