just got my new lathewerks custom ****, and CF autokit mirror covers.
i'd like your opinions good and bad.
sorry for the crappy iphone photo

 

Looks great!!!

 

With nothing else CF on the exterior of the car I think it looks silly. I'd never do it.

 

I Really like them , especially AK's stuff had them on my coupe as well, a long with diffuser ,trunk spoiler , and Hood.

On my sedan I have their side skits, rear diffuser in CF and I plasti dipped their trunk spoiler.

 

props for trying something out on your own and blazing your own trail! that shift **** looks OK, maybe a bit too big and round and chunky looking. i think the GTI has a round **** as well, but smaller and not machined aluminum. good workmanship and materials at least...looks a bit phallic but no biggie. similar to Rikter above, i'm not feeling the CF mirror wrap even though it looks like you did a good job of it. might just be the OEM side of my brain though...

 

Looking good, and agree about the mirror covers, I did the same thing (hydrographic CF though) and also did the front chin spoiler. My front spoilers' CF started to chip so I went black. Just the mirror covers by themselves look a bit off, but if you go CF on a front spoiler and possibly a rear diffuser it would flow pretty well IMO.

 

for the sports bumper that i have i have never seen any lips, or any chin spoilers for anything, but i will get the v2 ak diffuser in the near future

 

I'm not a fan of unpainted carbon fiber. It isn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but I'd rather spend my own cash on other items.

 

i'll buy the mirror covers if you decide you don't like them anymore haha. just throwing it out there
