Uck you can see that it isn't a replacement for the stock one on this picture but just one that goes ontop of it

looks shitty

not bad, the mirrors are the ugliest piece on the Z IMO still waiting on replacements to be released

I see atleast one gap on there and you can CLEARLY see that it is bigger than the black plastic bit the OEM one is on.

tis a shame

Damn, rough crowd...I think they look good and nobody will notice unless they know what they are looking for, especially when you are speeding down the road!

i agree man..... lol... i think it looks worse because of flash and it was taking at night.... honestly because the plastic part that isnt covered with cf is even all around i think it looks factory.... im really anal when it comes to parts and fitment.... i think these look better than the half carbon ones everyone is selling... those one looks like they ran outa carbon fiber because its only half the mirror covered....

I am not talking about it being all covered.

you have the plastic

and then a high difference because of the carbon slammed ontop of the OEM cover.

reminds me of those civics I see once in a while

atleast this is real carbon I think

I know I am being tough but if you are going to put carbon on your car make it replace the OEM not go ontop of the OEM

I agree... overlays are adding weight to the car, which is the opposite purpose of CF, right?

209Z · 04-27-2010, 08:12 PM

now a days its not about weight savings..its about looks..

example: cf hood and stock hood..stock hood is freaking light already u wont save much savings period...

if you want to save weight..go on a diet and eat dem SALADS lmao!

i would have went with replacements which were the stage 2... but i dont like the fact its cut off half way.... i know i was gonna get comments about it being retarded adding weight on the car... but the weight added by the carbon mirror side mirror covers is insignificant... they weight about 2 pounds each.... something ill get back somewhere else...

plus thats what my bolt ons are for lol

true.... thats why i said it was an accent... i never said it would save me weight and yes cf is meant to save weight the only thing i can think that can save weight is changing the metal fenders to cf... everything else is already paper weight....
