Pic Request - Anyone with the Silver colored highlights on the side mirrors?

It looks like it would be a nice touch. Adds a bit of accent to the car. Anyone with this option have any full view pictures of the car? Show it off and post as many as you got. I personally think it would be a nice touch but would like to see it in full view of the car.

TIA!

Here is a pic of it

So there are silver highlights for black cars, and carbon fiber "highlights" for light colored cars?

These are snap on accessories that you can buy. I am sure there are CF ones out there in the aftermarket. However, from Porsche, the silver ones are it.

My bosses 911 has these. It looks really nice. Unfortunately the car isnt here right now, so I cant post any pictures. Perhaps I get the chance after christmas.

I think this option comes also with aluminium handbrake and shifter?!

Anyway. His car is black with these silver side mirrors, aluminium handbrake, shifter and grey seat belts.

Mh I wont say so. Ok you wont see the CF that clear on black cars, but I think it also makes a nice touch. I want to get some CF stuff for my black car e.g. sidemirror, rear bumper lip and aero/gt3 frontbumper with carbon lip.

it is probably a matter of taste but imho carbon fiber on silver car looks very ugly. On inside parts with black interior CF blends in so-so and may be used, but outside, next to silver - no, it`s not for me.

White and black looks quite nice next to each other, so may be white and CF exterior accents will look OK too.

What I like next to silver is matte silver graphite or dark grey titanium.
