simota- oh ic... so that's why you sold them. i was wondering cause you were so into the CS mirror before. :tup:

yah, for me, i got the short arm version CS (photoshopped in my picts ofcourse cause i have no mods! :icon17:) and wouldn't have it any other way for my application since i had trouble seeing over the stock mirror while making left turns. it was a matter of time before i run over a dumbarse bicycle ridor. :rofl2:

how is the view while making left-hand turns with these new mirrors? :) i might look into these in the future as a re-fresh.
im going to japan next year anyway, be a nice suvenier to bring back. :icon17:

ahhh, hope it clears up soon. :tup:

is the glass the same on both the driver and passenger side? want to make sure so that it's not reversed. the CS mirrors had the same wide angle on both sides so i just had to get use to the driver side vs oem early on. :icon17:

what i did was make a mold of both vents... made the shape with FG and bondo and had my painter shoot it jet black :tup: and the leds are eagle eye LED's... they are pretty bright and help me at night... ;)

back to topic.... i drove my z today... to test out the mirrors :tup: IMHO the craftsquares have a better convex view... you literally dont move your head from how badass the view is... however over the stock mirrors the ganadors by far have a better view... you just have to move your head just a little bit... rather than breaking your neck on the oem mirrors :bowrofl: the convex definitely makes a huge difference over the oem mirrors best part.. the size of the mirrors eliminates the blind spots... and the hole doesnt make noise... i took it up to 70MPH :D no whistling at all.... here are some pictures of it a bit further and behind.... i hope you enjoy them as much as i did

sounds good, simota, thanks for the review. :tup:

how is the view over the mirrors while making left-hand turns? the stock mirror blocked my view nearly completely. did you ever have issues with the stock mirror while making left turns? :confused:

that would be the only other big issue for me as far as functionality goes.

i purposely made multiple left hand turns.... :tup: and i didnt have the issue of the "eclipse" of the oem mirror... the hole actually works in favor of showing wats in front of you too... :D the size too are alot smaller so the "eclipse" factor is absolutely gone :tup:
