ahhh, hope it clears up soon.

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.

back to topic.... i drove my z today... to test out the mirrors 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 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 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

Thanks again for the shout out and for your continued support Simota! The license plate frame looks perfect and your rides is just beautiful. The mirrors turned out great and I'm really glad they're working out for you. Great write-up as well! Keep up the great work my friend!

sounds good, simota, thanks for the review.

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?

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