I'm a sucker for CF, but I do think it looks best if you have a couple items to complement each other (i.e. mirrors alone might look out of place, but in conjunction with CF intake scoop would look sharp).

They look like crap on your car. Since I am a nice guy I will take them off your hands for a decent price.

They would "probably" just sit in my garage.









Searously, I think they look good. But I agree with one of the other posters.. I would also get something like the scoop or door handles/gas cap to complement the look.

I am also jaded as I don't care much for CF, but it doesn't look back. It's your mini and you said you like CF, go with it!

But, I would agree you should get a little bit of a theme going and do another piece at some point.
