Cabon Fiber GT Side Mirror!!

Hi guys,

I wonder if any of you guys ever come across the carbon fibre GT side mirror with billet base plate?It's a small rectangular side mirror made of real carbon fibre.

Kindly refer to the attached pictures for your view.Hopefully some of you guys can let me know where can I source for this side mirror.Anyway,the cars in the attached are taken from Japan.

Thanks once again.

Regards,
Peter.

I guess your right the pics from japan dont predate what misfitoy did so i guess he did not copy anyone j/k

I think the mirrors are sic. Im going to do it once the price comes down from 500 to something more reasonable.
