Thanks Nick. Actually I am strongly considering getting some carbon fiber shells for my mirrors, not just the covers. They're pretty pricey though. What I have on the car right now are just some mirror bras that came with the car when I bought it. I put these on to contemplate the look.

I know what you're talking about with making the windshield frame black. I've been thinking about covering it with black vinyl. There's a guy in the San Francisco area named Danny who has a two tone Boxster like this. He normally runs with the silver windshield frame, but as you can see in this photo, when he went to SEMA he put on a hard top and placed vinyl over the windshield frame.



That's the one thing that's missing in this photo of a two tone Boxster with Zeintec hard top. Looks a little incomplete without the black windshield frame.



I wasn't sure how it would look without a hard top though, but spurred on by your comment I found this picture, which I assume is Danny's car again:



This is similar to what my car would look like with the windshield frame covered in black vinyl and the CF mirrors. I have the CF hood and Kokeln scoops like the car in this picture. I really like it! I think this has convinced me to at least try the vinyl on there and see how it looks. Thanks again for the input Nick!
