Default Installed Silver CF Autotecknic Mirrors

I'm still unsure of the look of these on my car. The mirrors are nice and the silver CF weave is pretty solid. For an aftermarket mirror I think they are about as cool as it comes, but my car has a more "luxury" look to it and these are pretty "rAcey"... Either way, I took an hour or two to install them so I'm leaving them on a while. Let me know what y'all think. They obviously sit higher than OEM, but it's actually a cool perspective looking into them.

On with some pics:

They *do* offer better visibility than stock though, I know that...

Took some more pics and been looking at it and from some angles its fine, others its not.

We'll see!

I Think they compliment the look of YOUR car very well. May not be for everyone, but definatly for you.

might need more time to get use to them...not really feeling the height of those things right now..looks like the z put it hands up or something haha.

But the fact that they give you better visibility and you like them is good enough

Never like the look of the black CF mirrors, but I think the sliver ones go well with your car. Thanks for posting the pics.

Thanks fellas, they definitely aren't bad. Not at "sleek" as the OEM painted mirror, but for something different I think they look pretty decent.

As for the base, it's pretty raw aluminum, so I may either paint match it Chrome Silver or go semi-gloss black with it like the pillar. I'll do a photoshop before I decide on black bases v. staying silver.

Looking for more feedback!

They look very racey, but I think I like the stock mirrors still. Still, if you reallly need aftermarket... great choice.

I like them too. I sat in a Z with the Craftsquare mirrors and absolutely loved the visibility you get from them. When I race I have a helmet 5-Point harnesses, and a HANS devise on that severely limit my head movement. These are on the "to do" list for my car simply for the added visibility while on the track. They really help when entering a hot track as well.

i wouldve gone the ganador mirrors for a more luxury slim-line look

not real cf, but the design is hot

ive ordered a set

btw, whats involved in fitting new mirrors? do the door trims have to come off?
