When I configure the car with CF side mirrors, the lower sections automatically change to be painted to whatever color you've selected for the car, just like in the picture you have.

STG's picture shows the optional window triangle in carbon. A late intro option.

Squire's picture shows what I believe to be misleading. This is what I would want with the carbon mirrors but I think you may have to CXX paint the mirror arm piece. Hopefully this detail will be confirmed before anyone's order locks.

By the way, a HOTT configuration. My taste exactly. GT Silver, PCCB, Black LED's =

^^^Lower section of the carbon fiber mirrors comes painted (like in your configuration). Matte black lower mirror comes standard with he standard sport design mirrors. Nice spec, similar to what I've been thinking except for the wheels.

Been good!!! You?

The C2S is my first 911. Can't see selling it ever. Think I'd regret it someday. I think will need to wait until I can add to it maybe? LOVE the GT3.

The famous quote here. What is it? "Only add cars"??

On the Canadian configurator, the lower portion stays matte black when you spec the carbon side mirrors.

Just reiterating this.

Any bare plastic on the car will be beaten up quickly, and is unrepairable. You can't even polish it since it isn't a smooth surface in the first place. All those "paint this, paint that" Porsche options can significantly improve how the car looks in a couple of years.

You could opt to first let them be beaten and then have a bodyshop paint them, of course.

CF is generally polishable since it is a smooth, gloss epoxy cast (the fiber weave is just decoration for most parts, it will never experience stress).
