One thing is for sure....it won't look bad!!!

However, I'm not a fan of adding CF just for looks. I love the look of CF .... but really only fully appreciate it if it's functional.

Just my 2 pennies. In the end....it's your money and opinion that matters.

There is a Porsche OE carbon mirror that is an option on the 911R which can be ordered for the RS, as well. Sorry the pics are sideways. I don't know how to turn them...

Have you considered carbon wrap on your mirrors?
-You'd have $ left for tires and pads,

Here is pic arm plus mirror. OEM parts but CF by DB carbon. Warning - if you start down this path whether for function, asthetics or both it takes a life of its own. Happy holidays!

Looks like there are enough options to confuse anyone.

I don't think it would look right if you only did the mirrors in carbon. You would have to do the other black parts in carbon also.

I agree, you go all in or nothing. If I had to choose just one though it would be the mirrors.
