Less Chrome, more Carbon fiber! (pics)

Just installed Carbon fiber covers for both mirrors and door handles. Also thinking of getting these louvers to match!

Yeah, looks much better.

Chrome doesn't belong on a late-model Mustang ...

Except those aren't carbon fiber. They are painted to look like carbon fiber. You could have it painted to look like wood or granite makes as much sense. I have no use for chrome but at least it is real chrome over plastic. I'd prefer black paint if I could afford real carbon fiber.

The old chrome ones were ABS plastic! I'm not going to pay $500 for "real" carbon!

Sorry, I don't know how to copy threads but if you just search the thread title "05-13 1/4 window louvers" you'll be fine

Kind of like the handles. I hate the fact they are covers though. Improvement by all means though. Nice
