Alpine White with White or Black mirror covers???
I can't decide. I know CF would look better but I would rather put that money toward a JB3.
What do you guys think?  Now you see me...  Now you almost don't...        To me, the white/black contrast might look better in pictures than in real life. The black on white kinda look cheap like an unpainted Honda Civic Dx side mirrors, but at least the Jet Black is glossy. |

yeah me too, AW does it, I have AW Coral 135i and the OEM looks the best. I had thought of making other cosmetic changes but the car just doesn't look as classy. But it really depends on how "dark" you want the AW to look. I find the tint is the added touch the car needs. Other than that, not much. Other than what everyone has already said.
EspressoBoy PS Ask yourself what image you want to have? Then you will know what to do. Most will probably say what I have, because it's the safe look. If you were going to the Academy awards, who would you wear? Of course you are a sexy woman(car) and you have all the right curves in the right places. |

By itself, with no other black parts or visuals on the car, the black covers look weak. If you had a black roof or hood they might make sense, but against all that white they look like mistakes. People will ask you, "what happened to your mirrors?" as if thinking the black covers are temporary. If you're going to make a statement, be bold, not timid.

man, I would most DEFINITELY put that money towards a JB3!
the color of the mirror won't be important to you when you are beating M3's and C63's

I would think if you had a carbon lip or splitters + the performance wing and some dark wheels.. that would be badass, but not good on an otherwise plain AW

Going against the grain here. I really like the look of the black. Especially if you have the shadowline grills in place.
off topic. your tint looks really good. can you tell me the specs, please? %, brand, etc...

Not that I'm biased...
IMO, though, you really need other black accents to complete the look. |

I say only do black if you have other darker accents.
And since I currently own a Mazdaspeed3: With 2013 Mazdaspeed3 they actually went away from the color matched mirror covers to black on every color and went dark with the stock wheels and I think it looks really good... 2013  2012
