...and ending up getting carbon fiber mirrors. Already had the splitter, skirts, halo, door handles, spoiler and diffuser. Think it complements the rest of the stuff pretty well

I like the mirrors better than I like the gas filler door.

Found the gas filler door on ebay for $90, figured it was worth the shot at that price, matches the pattern on everything else and I still have the silver one. Didnt like it at first, but it grew on me.

Sharp car! I think carbon fiber headlight assemblies would really go well with your mods.

So how do you fix the carbon fiber side views if a rock chips it?

The chances of a rock chipping through the clearcoat and past the carbon fiber weave is unlikely. If it happens, it would most often chip the clear and a fix would be to touch-up clear or clear the mirror shell. It would be far worse looking on a painted mirror.

Clear touch does the trick.

Looks great, especially on the silver. IMO, gas door looks really out of place - but if you like it, that's all that counts. Have you thought about doing the headlights?
