Carbon Fiber Mirrors
Okay... another mod update. 
Gary in BR was kind enough to part with his carbon fiber mirror housings from GT Motorsport. He bought them for his car, but then didn't install them. He gave me a GREAT deal on these, THANKS Gary!!!
Any way, these are complete housings, not just the cheap covers you find on eBay. I doubt I saved any weight, but I have some continuity between my carbon fiber hood and side vents now. Installation was pretty straight forward, but not easy. Anything like this that's made from fiberglass and carbon fiber, whether it's a hood, bumper, or mirror housing, will not be as "perfect" as the OEM piece. It's just that the process of manufacturing the fiberglass part is far from ideal and shrinkage causes some problems. So these were not a perfect fit, but I worked with them to get it as close to perfect as I could. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the results.
