don't like the wrapping on the mirrors, keep them body color

+1 personaly I'm not into the fake carbon fiber, looks cheap to me. The bow ties look ok but the mirrors are too much. Just my opinion though, if you like it then the hell with what i think

Not a fan of carbon fiber. I just don't see what folks like about it. You did do a good job on the mirrors though.

Remember how the mirrors looked on the concept Camaro? They were razor thin.
I've wondered how production mirrors would look if someone tried the same effect (appearance) of those by covering the lower half of the mirrors in black or carbon fiber.

Yes i thought about that...might look cool...also thought about wrapping the upper and lower in CF and just leaving the middle body color...it might look crazy 2 tone look especially from far away...

I like the bowties. Not a fan of the mirrors personally, but in any case you did a good job with the vinyl.

I don't think it looks bad. It's different (in a good way) and puts a personal touch on it... and that's what makes it look cool.

I don't think the mirrors look bad, but I would do the whole mirror. Don't leave any color. Good job with laying the Vinyl.
