there's a green srt-4 in chicago that did a bunch of cf parts and then wrapped alot of the remaining car in it as well lol

^^ this material is NOT CF..
it's a high quality vinyl that looks like (and feels like) dry CF.

and optionally able to be clearcoated for that real CF look.

its definitely not real for that price if ur going to buy it use it for the interior pieces looks better....cf is expensive but its worth it in the end.

What? No... was agreeing with what you said about using it for the interior.

There are CF mirror covers out there too for our OEM mirrors... but USUALLY the fitment is crap. I don't recall a thread specifically about these recent ones though:

Those MIGHT be OK. I don't know.

I think if you want mirror covers it might be better just to wrap it, that way if someone steals your covers(since its so easily taken off) you wont lose that much and replacing it would be cheaper, just buy another cover of any color and re-wrapping.
