Default Can carbon fiber AND kevlar look good together?

I feel weird asking this, since I am an artist/musician myself. But I simply can't decide.

Can carbon fiber and carbon kevlar parts be used on the same car in good taste???

For instance, I have carbon fiber mirrors, since these mirrors don't come in kevlar. BUT, I'd also like kevlar parts too, since my car will be painted a type of blue.

Any suggestions/opinions and pictures are very welcome!

Well, the mirrors are Vision so I hesitate to do that, even though I know it could be a reversible mod

What Vision mirrors do you have? If it's the DC type you probably won't even notice as they're so small...
If it does bother you, you can still paint the mirrors blue.

I saw your photo on the homepage and LOL'd, I knew it was for this thread haha.

Yes they are type DC. Thanks for the input. The mirrors are the only 'Fiber piece, so looks like I'll be getting everything else in Kevlar!

Go for it I've seen the Vision DC mirrors in kevlar before, but they were custom made by a guy in the Netherlands.

He also has a build thread here: https://honda-tech.com/appearance-bu...ar-eg-2777298/

That is pretty sweet. Although it looks like the mirrors are still carbon fiber, unless he changes it later on

He made several molds. I bet you could get a set from him. Would look cool.
