Have you applied some sort of spray (like an anti-fog) on the lenses to minimize the issue during the colder months?

I'm in the Los Angeles area, so I luckily won't have to deal with severe cold, but I was just wondering (more so on the passenger side...I can quickly grab one of my Starbucks-sourced napkins for my side, but not so much on the passenger side).

Thanks in advance for your input!

I'm in Redondo Beach and haven't had any issues with my mirrors fogging up at all. Even with our super cold (60 degree) winter months. 😁

I had emailed RHDJapan since my order was taking a while longer than for most of you guys on this thread...I was feeling left out, lol.

They said it can take up to 90 days in their email, so I figured I would shut up and be a big boy about it.

Just a few days after that, I got the email that it will be shipping soon and that I should be receiving tracking info soon...woohoo!

Now the wait begins (again).

Your's were more of a special order, that's probably why they're taking longer. Once mine shipped I got them a few days later. I was shocked how quickly I received them.

Makes sense, serves me right for adding extra goodies!

I placed my order on or around Aug 30th, so I easily went over the month-mark like most of you had waited.

I started to wonder if they forgot to send my order in, but now I’m in the home stretch!

If you created an account with them you can always get on their website and get status updates. Kind of a moot point now though.

I ordered around Feb 21 and got them June 6-ish

TC-F + Type R option

Getting Xpel clear bra put on them and a red strip added to replicate the Nismo look and then they'll go on the car

Damn I wish I did the type R option... looks gorgeous bro
Fyi. I never clear filmed mine and I have full film on my front clip and 2 years later they are still flawless. Your call but they dont need film plus wrapping them with such a tight curve will be very difficult. Most likely you will have seams in the film or it will come up

If the Xpel don't work, they'll do Ceramic Coat instead. Just don't wanna leave carbon naked.

I'm really thinking about getting a set of these. Can anyone with the blue lenses comment on what they think about them? I'm guessing the standard lenses are already a big improvement in visibility over stock.

OptionZero · 11-11-2018, 05:52 PM

Finally

Looks like you need a backing for the front emblem.

OptionZero · 11-11-2018, 07:31 PM

I f'ked that area when i used a heatgun to try to remove the OEM emblem. The paint is messed up

Eventually i'll need to respray and i'll probably have them shave and fill the emblem spot and just leave it clean. With the vents and blacked headlights i sorta feel like my front end is busy enough already without the giant Z

Hi there! I got my blue-lensed mirrors a few weeks back, but have been either sick and/or busy with work, so I haven’t had a chance to install them yet.

I’ll see if I get a chance real soon and I’ll share my 2 cents.
