I've just started looking into LED side mirrors. I've seen some that look decent, but those are pretty cheap looking.

Well I'm thinking it COULD be executed in a subtle way, but those are not subtle in the least bit. To each their own of course, but the Z is not a BMW....

Also guys, promise me, no mark shark antennas.... please... K? Thanks...

maybe less led turn signal, but you have to admit from the second pic, the led lenses are really flush, nicely molded.

i always thought they were a good idea.. better visibility so you dont get clobbered when making a turn.

Maybe

It would look better if you could black out the white part, or make it body color with the light still passing threw!

Cheers

I wouldn't call them "rice," myself. I think the concept is a good one, but the execution here is a little lacking (they're but ugly).

I agree also and yet still debate about it. Instead, I think I am either going to go with the JDM side markers or pick it a Honda S2000 JDM side markers.

How about making a circuit to make the LCD's move back and forth? Then you could have a updated KIT. Then make the car talk.

Default LED Motorized 350Z Mirrors

Even though this Item is getting pretty bad feed back.
We will be offering Factory 350Z mirrors. That are Motorized to Move inward when you turn the engine off. And move outward when you turn the engine on. They also have the Leds in the side, That blink like turn signals. And they have a led in the bottom that lights up when you open you door. They come pre-painted (factory paint) to match. We installed them on our company car, IMO they are pretty cool, espacially the motorized part.
They should be on our website within the next few days.
Just throwing it out there, If anybody is interested.

Michael
