Default Opinions of APR Carbon Fiber Mirrors

I talked to ARR awhile back and they told me that there is not enough demand for CF mirror that they made custom a few of their customers.

I just wanted to know if anybody likes them?

I think they are nice unlike alot of other mirrors out there.

Heres a pic

it looks a little rough, but i like the fact that it mounts into the same place as the factory mirrors. i was looking at craftsquare mirrors, but you gott mount em to the door =\.

If the mounting plate didn't have the bolts/rivets in it, it would be a lot better.

I like the style, also it looks a little rought on front edge of triangle piece... I'd prefer it was ALL cf.

How many oz altogether?
How much?

The problem with cf mirrors is they usually cost too much to justify weight savings of couple pounds (for thebest)

Prices for universal mirrors, but the mount will look worse in my opinion. They are cheap by the way, $215 for large ones and $195 for small ones. This includes carbon fibra mounting plate which you'll have to cut to size.

I like them. I don't think that they are worth the weight loss but I like the look of them.
