I'd like to see what this looks like from the mirror side and from a low angle (seeing underneath.)

It's the only thing holding me up. My redline mirrors are faded and rock chipped.

This post was mostly for the J panel but here are some pics of a CF "cover" the only way to have all CF is drop serious $$$ or custom fit a undercap and mirror inserts to only see CF

Wow that is truly amazing but no I am looking to do most CF cept my V3 bumper. Then custom paint from the bumper into the CF. I like the all CF look but I like the V3 nose the most and will intergrat it in with a sick paint job.

All CF looks nice. Now are those just CF Overlays or actual CF pieces?

Yea but they used 1x1 dry CF on a door handle. By doing this they made it way to expencive for 1x1 weave. I disagree with the high price but to follow that with a 1x1 twill is a slap in the face.
