Racer or Ricer

I have some stone chips on my mirror cases (2002 S). Do i repaint or replace with carbon (not the cheap covers but the proper cases)? Hard-core racer or cheap and tacky ricer? Opinions please........:dance:

I say it depends on the colour of the car & extent of complimenting mods. Personally if & when I get to this point I would like to paint mirrors & black bases body color.

At the moment pretty stock, midnight blue, 18'' Carrera's and an exhaust (muffler bypass) ... its a work in progress!

If the mirror cases will be your only carbon mod, then I worry that it will look ricer.

Car wrapping is common here. Carbon effect or any other colour you can think of and completely reversible.

IMO it's tough to improve on the way your car looked when new other than adding the Carrera 18" wheels so I would focus on the interior.
