Only problem is you got to take off your sun visors, but you can def see everything behind you. LOL this made a lot of sense back then Side View mirrors were options back then.
lol yeh...i actually had this on my 95 bubble because i couldnt see out the tiny F1 styled mirrors...ive seen alot of different styles over the past couple years. Fashions come in and out every so often. i wonder what styles would be in 20 years from now when im 40. =] lol

So... You're saying that you're racing on crowded highways for five G's a go, huh? I'll race ya. Only thing is, I don't have any cash. But I do have the pink slip to my car. So check it out, it's like this: If I lose, winner takes my car clean and clear. But if I win, I take the cash, and I take the respect!


JLedesma90: "Respect?"


To some people, that's more important!

and with this... I hope you crash and burn.

i probably will one day...who knows... u shouldnt be so narrow minded though. its a lifestyle or hobby or whatever you would like to call it. i dont ALWAYS race for 5k though. other members have. they have much more money invested in a car than i ever had....would u risk damage worth 4k on your car for a petty money race? u blow a motor with over 10k of work in it for a $500 race and id consider u a fool, on or off the track.

but i dont understand if im being bashed for my age/noobness? my point of view? or because of the way i go about things.

has anyone here EVER really been to a street race in NY? nobody is ever in real danger...if im driving like a moron speeding through traffic as if i were in a movie thats just someone being an ***. but hey, sometimes u just have to...many of the racers out here dont even have licenses, drive in cars with fake plates. u get caught u go to jail, the car gets pounded, etc.

first of all... street racing discussion is not allowed on this forum. Im surprised no one has mentioned it already.

and i hope these people who put others' lives at stake crash into a wall and die ASAP.

Some people are just born without brains...

Why such an elaborate rear view mirror for a Honda? When you race people in an SI, aren't all the cars in front of you?

wow z crowd.... way to be "open minded" to other things and at least just say... i dont like it, personally... no wonder most people in automotive scene think that most z drivers are idiots..
i personally think its cool, there is nothing wrong with it, it improves vision and the ability to see the blind spots that 350z's do have, if anything id say our car would benefit more so than alot of others...but hey why not? lets bash it because......
it looks different? imho i think it looks better than the stock one, gives a better look interior wise and if your car is lowered, it will give a more aggressive look seeing how it is long, giving the interior/roofline of your car a more wide look, hence giving your car a more aggressive look..
and quit bashing on honda's please...its immature.. its the same as bashing on domestics..it gets old.....you like what you like and do what you do...i respect others opinions and dont condon racing on streets but as far as the mirror goes....

i plan on buying one and putting it in my z sometime this month...you can catch me in the aggressive wheel thread with also....

The fail is strong in this thread.

1) I see the people you say "can't get hurt" all the time in the ICU...what I don't see is the "great driver" that put them there, since if they don't get caught, they are too much of a coward to man up to what they caused. Your comment about cutting in and out of traffic (which sounds alot like daily driving) is why you are getting flamed. If you are truely talking about closed road racing (which....I doubt) then I take tmy statement back.

2) While I don't like it, you are right, to each their own. HOWEVER, if you want people to respect you, get the age stats right: I believe that most people on here are not old, but rather, late 20s to mid 30s. THAT is another reason you get bashed: We are sick of paying crazy rates because some younger "cooler" driver keeps putting their Zs into the wall or other drivers.

3) I am pissed that someone beat me to the FandF comment!!! (I was thinking more like Edwin though as the OP)

4) +1 for the Ib4hraes. Hasn't he felt the ripple in space/time....the ripple that occurs when LULZ occur???

That is all......

thats not true. This is a forum. When you say stupid things, expect the good and the bad.

edit:this has nothing to do with the mirrors. i could give less of a chit about bad mods that others do. its all tastes. im referring to the street racing stuff.
