    Bought some export mirrors from fellow member abood89. My grand plan is skin the bottom portion in carbon fiber and then paint match the top to the car. I started the tear down process of the mirrors tonight and began sanding to prep for paint. Below are a couple of pictures. I'll try and update this thread as progress is made :thumbsup:

    Good luck with the project! I plan on doing the same to my set of export mirrors.
    Really can't wait to see the CF part in progress / finished.

    Finally got all my stuff to begin skinning these mirrors....I just can't decide which part I want to skin. The base, or the actual mirror housing, thoughts? I've thought about the following combinations:

    1. CF skinned base with red mirror housing
    2. Red base with CF skinned mirror housing
    3. Black base with CF skinned mirror housing
