Exterior Mirrors

6MT-Z34 · 03-21-2014, 12:03 PM

I need help deciding which route to go for my external mirrors. I have a stock PW Z, I was thinking of getting either the EVO-R CF mirror covers, black vinyl, or paint them black?

What are your thoughts on the EVO-R CF ones? does it looks good from up close? I know from far they look gloss black which accents the PW nicely.

Thanks for the help!

Hey Mister 6MT-Z34

Why did not the Zele covers on your list?
I have the last 4 years and they still look like new

Thanks for the other option! those looks real nice, it looks like it would just cover the white part of the mirror right? I would have to check the price of this as well.

EVO-R CF F1 Mirrors are modeled after the craftsquare and have better looking backing plates.

If you decide to be a masochist and order from Evo-R, order from the Z Store. Jay at Evo R likes to take so long that you're outside of the window for Paypal to help you. The Z store will tell you if they have any in stock. Evo R will just take your money and one day sometime in the future mail you a product. AK shut him down as a vendor for a while since he kept pulling crap like that. Buy the Zele ones if you want mirror covers.

Man,I agree on what you posted on EVO-R.The Z store is almost as bad.
Most stuff is out of stock.If they tell you it'll be in stock in "2 weeks",double that(if you are lucky.The truth is,EVO-R gets their stuff made in Taiwan at
a large plant.They have to schedule parts to be on a production schedule as this place makes CF parts for all types of cars.Jay gets say,10 sets made as he's got o pay upfront(I think).When theey are sold,they are gone until the next slot or he's got the $$.I've delt with this crap one too many times.
I buy my CF stuff from vendors who have the parts in stock and you can
communicate.THe best I've seen is ZCFcovers.They don't make morroe covers.However,ZCF makes neat mirror base accents in CF.

You've got to call the Z Store and check stock, not just order through the website. They can't sell you what they've recieved yet. The last time I tried to order Evo R stuff through them, they said they would be getting their shipment in a week. I cancelled my order two months later because they hadn't gotten so much as a tracking number from Jay. I've had to cancel 2 out of 3 orders because they went down like that. Every part from another maker I've ordered from the Z Store shipped almost immediately. Funny, huh?

It's a shame. There's almost $2k of parts I want to order from the guy but I can't based on the way he does business. I'll pay more to get the real items just so I know I'll actually receive product.
