Finally... EVO's/Akkurat's CF Mirrors
 
Update II: Those of you that want in on this please Email me at alex@akkuratpgi.com or just call 650-381-0000....

UPDATE, I can order mirrors from my local dealer for $65 per side...

I've wanted CF mirrors for a long time but never found anyone that could do a good enough job (I didn't feel like paying close to 2k for the Porsche ones either)... A while back I talked to Mike at EVO at the GAF this year after seeing some of the work that was done on Todd's car. Mike/Todd got the ball rolling and specced out some carbon fiber covered 996 mirrors and here are the results on my car today (pardon all the dust on the rest of the car but we are working on it lol).

I'm really happy with the results so great job Mike! He has promised to make a limited first run of these and at a price of $650 for the pair (just send in your new cores or have us get them for you - around 90 bucks) if you're interested in a set.

I put them next to yellow (Robyn's car), seal grey (Kirby's), black (mine) and Fred's in silver and it looked bling bling hawt. Well done Mike!!! So far I have 4 people locally (some of the above) "in" for this first run and I could probably add another 6 or so people if need be on a "group buy" type thing. Turn around time once we fill slots will be about 2-3 weeks.

Let me know your interest folks and here's more info:

PS Also if you could do me a favor and send a lolly pop to Mike with every purchase as a thank you for taking time out to deal with my request I'd appreciate it lol:)

When you come in to do the brakes take a look first hand and see what you think... I figured you'd like them and they would match your CF spoiler...

PS I'll try to twist Mikes arm into doing a few more custom pieces in the future (aka after the shoot out is OVER).

Hum...could go good with the wing :)
I am considering it...much cheaper than Porsche's....
How does the weave match the wing Alex ??(since you have the same one :)),
