I love the mirrors, but not crazy about the black trim. I know it's like that on the RS, but reminds me of the standard mirrors with the body color top and black lowers.

I can't stand the standard mirrors on the 911

If I had a lava orange car, I'd want all the lava orange they could put on it.

Well, I'm happy to report that I just heard back from the dealership and the build is frozen so all Lava it is!

A pro can wrap the bottom half in black vinyl and no one would be the wiser. If you decide you don't like it, you peel it off. Easy peasy.

I'd go Lava anyway, and good thing given that your configuration is locked!

I could easily be wrong but it looks from the configurator that the lower part of the mirror is black anyway, i think you pay for GLOSS black with that option. I prefer the mirrors to be all one colour also.
