did you remove the old caps first on the mirrors or just tape the CF ones over the originals? looks great BTW! I have the same CF rear diffuser you do, or mine is actually off ebay but looks the same and also the gloss black lower valence as well. If I were you, do what I did, well sort of. I removed my exhaust tips and painted them gloss black - but I didn't hammer them back on well and one fell off on the highway! ended up ordered a new set from ECS tuning already painted gloss black. Looks great on a black car. Also wrapped the red reflectors on the rear in gloss black.

ugh, can't find where i ordered the tips from, thought it was ECS Tuning. As for the CF lower valence, the part above the diffuser - I didn't like it with too much carbon fiber personally. I did have an all CF setup installed and replaced it with the gloss black. But that's just me. And the CF one i got off ebay didn't fit well at all. ended up buying two different sets and mixing them together so to speak. I also got the front lip spoiler installed today. also off ebay, perfect fitment. https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-17-2020...72.m2749.l2649

What mistake did you make? I had my MPPSK tips painted over a year ago and they still look great.
Also, great choice on the CF parts. It's hard to see in the picture but I went with M Performance carbon fiber splitter, diffuser, spoiler, side skirts, mirrors and RK side vents.

I only have CF on the rear- diffuser and spoiler. front is a black splitter and spoiler and black grill. CF can be overkill if you do too much in my opinion.
