Arrow 2010+ Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers

Is anyone making carbon fiber mirror covers yet? The JLT's look nice but I don't see any for the 2010+ cars.

Nice but they don't fit 2010+ mirrors.

^ No, the same mirrors should fit. The roof and a pillar didn't change from the 05-09 vs 10+. So it's working with the same curvature.

As this photo is a 2010 mirror on a 2006 GT.

So they do fit, great.

Anyone making just the CF skull covers?

That's because styling-wise CF is 2005.

Edit:
In my opinion, of course. Everything has a styling lifespan, the radio bezel in my '05 Focus ST came with a fake carbon fibre pattern straight from the factory.

I think if you give it another 5 years fake carbon fibre panels will be where neon green windshield wipers are now.

But to each their own.

I'm going to go with a no- just a lot of hydro.

That's different.

90% of add-on stuff like mirror skull caps and whole mirror assemblies themselves aren't real carbon fibre.

That hydro stuff looks pretty good but I'm looking for real CF. I'm probably going to add a TruCarbon GT500 CF rear spoiler and the mirrors might add a nice touch. I'm not planning on going crazy with CF.

But the ones in a lot of the other posts aren't.

A lot of the accessory manufacturers are moving away from carbon fibre styling because very few actually work in real carbon fibre. It's a lot of work to rework a plastic design into a (real) CF piece and when they do charge enough to recoup the cost most people balk at the price.

5 years ago, you could get CF license plate surrounds, sunglasses clips bezels, etc, but now fake carbon fibre styling has run its course.

At any rate, good luck in your search.

Dang 908ssp, I noticed the wing from this pic and had to look through your pics. That is an awesome car! I like the tall shifter and the carbon in the interior too!
