First off, you car is GORGEOUS! Having owned a VY vert, I'm a yellow fan, and you car is outstanding. The quality of the mirrors also look first rate. But, to be honest, I think they stand out a little too much. But that's me, and it is your car (and you asked!).
Even if I'm hesitant regarding the mirrors, it is a beautiful car.

That's a beautifully appointed Z with all of the aftermarket upgrades that he has had done.I believe the reason why the CF Mirrors stand out too much is that they are attached directly to the Yellow door panels causing a somewhat intrusive color contrast rather than being attached to the A-pillar door frames which are black in color.
The workmanship on those mirrors is second to none!

Good looking. It will also cut down on weight and drag.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I am looking at possibly doing the Roof and B pillar in Carbon Fiber as well...I have definitely dropped some coin on this car...about $70k so far, of which $19k has been with my friend Jersey on all his interior/exterior carbon fiber parts and steering wheel. I have been trying to improve upon an already great car without taking it to a "too much" level...the goal was to make it more refined and high end without making it weird. The mirrors will not be for everyone...even my wife is kinda so so on it as she says unless you are close to it while driving, then it looks like i put black mirrors on a yellow car. I love the quality of the Carbon Fiber and to me I think it catches your eye while on the road and shows that this vette may be a little different. I think I may be the second person with these...Jersey can chime in anytime he wants.
This car is my daily driver and it is also a car I take to car shows when possible. Keeping those wheels clean is a PITA, but I have a great mobile detailing crew that gets to tackle that.
Jersey of APSIS, John at Wheels Boutique, Tim at LPE, Jason at Katech, and TJ at RPM Transmission all made this possible, and are all great forum vendors!

We are so proud to be part of your mod team. Your car truly looks amazing.
Regarding the Carbon Side Mirror, I think if you have the Carbon A-Pillar Frame then it will make a big difference. Most of our customers started from the A-Pillar and then add the Side Mirror. Regardless what color is their car, they all said what a big difference.
Sorry, don't mean to burn more of your money. But take a close look at the A-Pillar to see if it will make sense to you. When you walk to your car, that A-Pillar is right in front of your eyes. When you have the A-Pillar in carbon, it will echo with the Carbon Side Mirror and you will get different perspective. Maybe we can loan you one pair of A-Pillar so you can play with it to see if it will make the difference.
Now we need a nice testimonial from you.

I didn't know that. Your C6 has to be one of the top 5 I've seen here on the forum. And I think it's THE best yellow C6 I've seen.
A couple notes, if you're keeping the mirrors I'd ad the carbon headlights to really tie the mirrors in. And if you have $ to burn you could do the roof and halo in CF too.

I would like do do that but if you kneel down and look at body line it makes sense to paint bottom part the color of the car.
I have Carbon Headlights and rear diffuser and APSIS Carbon Interior.
Seats are sweet, Can you PM me the info on them, Pirce and Parts #s
I painted top black to: We are almost the same.
