Adam,
I can understand the desire to use more aero mirrors.... I'm looking for the Ruf mirrors myself! I probably won't install them for a long while, because of the door paint issue. I wonder if I can use "bumper plugs" as a temporary solution?

Adams,
Go for it, they are great.
Despite what other might think, I personally love CF mirrors on the car, they also save weight..
Mine are Spa Technique and you can buy them from Longacre or www.racerpartswholesale.com In fact I am ordering another 2 sets right now.
Don't expect excellent CF quality, but they look very nice.
I don't know if they show on my avatar, I can send you pics if you like.
