CF Mirror Caps for E92, yay or nay?

Okay guys! title says it all, need everyone's help to help me decide! I really like the CF patterns but I'm afraid it might turn out too ricy and end up looking like a civic!

Cheers!

won't look too good on Altantic Blue, especially when there is no other CF parts on the car.

It's blue water not atlantic blue btw, slight difference I think =) Anyways I the body kit hasn't arrived yet, still waiting on the VRS boot/Hood and the splitters to arrive! =( Although the M-Tech kit will probably be fitted next week hopefully!

Thanks for helping me out guys! =D

not the best color for CF mirrors especially since youre basically stock right now. maybe if you get the your vrs parts it might work but for now the answer is a straight no. only some colors can pull it off. blue water is not one of them

I would do it only if you are going for the CF theme throughout the car. Just the mirror caps alone will look out of place IMO.

I've never been too keen on CF mirror covers.. it's just the bridge too far. CF lip yes, CF spoiler yes - CF mirror covers = overboard
