it will be flat with your black part of the mirror. I had the same mirror cover with same 3M tape on a 350Z drove on route 5 to SF at 140 MPH no problem at all.

Don't like it... The whole point in adding carbon fibre parts is to reduce the weight

I say learn from the best, enzo, z06 have body parts made from carbon fibre yet they are painted.
