If your looking for that type of mirror you can find better quality Autotecknic ones on ebay for around that price and they look better in my opinion.

Just because it is CF, doesn't mean it looks good...

2 CF mirrors, not just covers,for 150 bucks?
Don't think so.
This stuff is crap.I'd think you'll find the same item on e-bay from a Chinese exporter.
Its basically cheap ricer stuff.You pay for what you get...
Their website is really cheesy.
Even if this was high quality stuff,these mirrors that appear to be ATTACHED by 3-M tape,
will look lousy on a Z.

interesting responses on this thread.... an im w DUckee btw^^^

Im ordering them as soon as they are availble again.. read further:



OP, those are TCS mirrors and are currently out of stock from every single vendor out there.
The manufacturer is out of the 350z specific baseplates, and will have them in very very soon. ( TC Sportline)

I agree the autoteknic mirros are a little nicer, but the mirror surface is actualyl even smaller tan the TCS mirror...
BUT..The Autoteknik mirros are fully and 100% discontinued and are actually NOT available on ebay anymore.
They are replicas of CraftSquare mirrors....Craft Square are 700 dollars easily, even used.

Certain cars look great with these mirrors ( Especially the ol hellaflush'd or bumper tuck n single crowd).. and they are extreemly functinal.

To each his own, but again, theres alot of incorrect info/rhetoric/opinion in this thread and little fact...but hey, thats how we roll haha.
Hope it helps you out OP.

the reality is they are not as cool as autoteknic.. it is what it is.. the base plates are hella thick, and are plastic.
BUT..
autoetknic is no longer so its craft sq or these.. and these are 150 bucks.
Done.

Im tired of my worthless Veilside mirrors..

F1 mirrors are sweet imho.
Factory mirrors are ok i guess.. i just already cut mine in half to use the VS ones.. so the F1 look will be fine for me.
