Just a teaser. Will vinyl the whole mirror this weekend.
I didn't plasti-dip as I didn't like the roughness of the surface. I used black vinyl on the mirror pillar. I will wrap the whole mirror in matte silver. The signal on the side mirror was done years ago. I wrap it in matte transparent gray.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say those are CF covers for the side view mirrors???

I don't know what that is for (dead pedal?) but KB1, I love what you've done with your car. Yours' truly stands out among our BWP's. Rock on...
I hadn't see the pics before now.

Yes, I was bored over the weekend and had some carbon fiber panel and wanted to see if it looks ok to make a carbon fiber shifter. So I measure and dremel and sand down and see how it would look. It is reversible as I put double sided adhesive. So if I dont like it I can take take it out.
I was trying to CF overlay the shifter but found out that it the + and - are illuminated at night.
Here is how it would look.

That was my next guess....no lie! 
You gave the hint it was smaller but then I thought he's gonna lose the lights if he puts it over the paddle shifters.

Ya originally I took out the paddle shifter in the pass and trying to have a fab guy to do a carbon fiber overlay and found out that the paddle shifter are luminate when you have your parking/headlamp on. So that idea was scratch out. So I had some carbon panel in my garage and I just measure up my idea and drew a template and then dremel it. I might sand it down a little more to make it thinner and a little slender on the side.
