CR mirror delete?

Thinking about switching out the stock CR mirror caps for carbon fiber to match the new shifter, steering wheel, and lift gate. Any opinions on whether this takes away the essence of what is a jcw? I'm thinking it will look a bit less racey and more like an understated beast. Love to get some thoughts.

i had cf mirror caps on mine and they really shine under sunlight - looked really good. however, for my color, it didn't give enough contrast for me so i went with black jack caps. but for your pw jcw, i think it will look excellent with the contrast.

If you do go with the Carbon Fiber side mirrors, I would also replace the Bonnet stripes with Carbon Fiber stripes so they match. Of course the Roof would look good re-done in Carbon Fiber vinyl so everything matches. Just a thought . . . . .
