It's not a CLK thank you.

Waste of money and makes it look less sporty.

That looks awful. Like the Civics with M3 Mirrors. Why do people want there car to look like another kind of car?

I ordered a set that are really nice. Those look alright, but IMHO the set I bought seemed to really flow with the lines of the Z without looking "ricey". The base flows right into the stem of the mirror. They are heated, power adjustable and foldable. They also have a signal light. Take a look for yourself. And don't let people flame you. Some of the folks on this board have a preconceived notion of what the Z "should look like". If you ride doesn't go along with that notion they want to flame you. In the end it's YOUR ride & YOUR money. Do wtf you want!!!

the original doesn't look horrible on the G, but really just don't think it'd work for the Z. those m5 mirrors remind me of what civic owners put on their cars

I think if you look at the design of the Z objectively the design effectiveness of the side view mirror could be criticized. The panel that attaches the mirror looks like a flat piece of metal the mirror is joined to. There was room for improvement in this area of the design. I think some of the aftermarket solutions are an improvement. Just my 2c

I'm not feeling that one there. I like the smaller CF side mirrors that you can get but i dont think they are heated. That is the only reason that I havent got them yet.

That one just doesen't look right with the blinkers there. The red one above my post are the sides i like.

they look hideous. the stock side mirrors look way better than that. too many lights going off makes your car look weird.
