Also, it's hard to tell, but is the "type R option" the mirrors with the button(keyhole?) on top? Is that what locks the mirror in place or am I way off?

I just got my 370Z and those blind spots are no joke (both the front and rear ones) and am trying to narrow down which set I'd like the best.

Thanks in advance guys!

I got the version without the stem. I had the stem version on my 350z and wanted the different version as well as evo r doesn't knock these off so you know they are legit

Thanks redondoaveb, I did find some pics of the type R option in one of the older threads.

Hey Volk Z, was there notable difference in how much better it is to view the Z's blind spots with either the short or the long stem mirrors?

Beyond noticeable. I didn't have to worry about curbing my front wheel every left hand turn and the side blind spots are gone. I feel a lot safer in the car and it looks 100x more sexy.

Fedex tried to deliver mine today but needed a signature. I'm having them dropped off at a Fedex office and will pick them up tomorrow. :happydance:

I just ordered a set from RHDJapan myself (the TCA-F). I've been wanting a these for a while and finally pulled the trigger. I can't stand the stock mirrors and their big left turn blind spot :eekdance:
I just wish they were local and not have to ship from Japan, gonna be hard waiting for them :excited:

Yeah, it's gonna be a while before I get them. My order says "Expected on 2017-11-30" and that's just when they expect to get them and ship them to me. I'll have a nice Christmas present :icon17:

When they received mine they shipped right away and were delivered to me in California in a few days.

I have a white 2015 Nismo and I dropped way too much money for black TE37's and even more stupid money to add red lettering to them

how am i not gonna add red to these

Volk Z 10-25-2017 04:35 PM

I'm going to patent the idea quickly then haha.

Ok option it's all good you can do it. Just make sure I get props when people say that looks legit. ;)

My Craftsquare mirrors painted red.

OptionZero 11-14-2017 05:58 PM

Man I dunno if i could stomach painting the CF

Why didn't you wrap it, so its removable?

They would have had to do it in 3 pieces, the seams would have shown. I also wanted to do something different.

Ditto. I like the carbon waaay too much. It's like dangling keys in front of a baby. I just staaare at it.
Yeah, maybe I need to get out more...

cooltoy 11-14-2017 07:29 PM

Should have left a CF stripe.

redondoaveb 11-14-2017 07:44 PM

My car is silver (just had the door handles painted body color also) with black wheels, black emblems and limo tinted windows. I wanted a little red accent to match the sport brake calipers. I'm over the carbon fiber look. Don't get me wrong, it looks good but everyone is doing it.

I ordered mine on Sept. 29th and they just showed up this past Saturday (Dec.9). As my luck would have it, a foot of snow also showed up so hopefully I'll be able to get them installed next weekend. :tup:

OptionZero 05-26-2018 12:33 PM

by the second week of June, i THINK the first set of Craft Square TCA-F with the Type-R base for the Z34 in america will be arriving. Yet to see that option on any car . . . anywhere, actually

Will be taking them for a Xpel treatment and pinstriping though, so no mounting for a while after that

CANNOT WAIT

ordered end of Feb, so nearly 4 month wait (and it still beat Varis!!!)

EDIT:
per my dealer, stickers were gonna be $25 extra LMAO

EDIT 2:
Has anyone filled in or covered the holes on the base somehow?

I'm thinking of wrapping it, hope it doesn't look odd

Cooltoy. I'm the one with the red pinstripe haha... I would never have painted them.

Kudos for being different but carbon flashing looks way better

cooltoy 05-26-2018 04:03 PM

I meant the revers of what you have. He should have painted them red, but left a CF stripe down the middle.

Oh snap, that would have been legit.

OptionZero 05-26-2018 10:10 PM

Can't cover up that expensive cf

I originally ordered mine with the type-r option but when I saw a picture of it installed I didn't like how it made the mirror stick out and I cancelled the order and just got the TCA-F's. Glad I did, they lock in place really tight without the r base and definitely look better without it.

All the black on car is matte. If the carbon fiber was matte I would have. I personally don't care for glossy carbon fiber.

You could have done a matte clear film....

Your dealer was going to charge 25 dollars to copy my idea? You know it's like insanely easy to pinstripe yourself right?

OptionZero 05-27-2018 12:07 PM

No, craft square was gonna charge 25 for their stickers

What the heck... I believe mine came in the box free... I tossed them of course. Unless someone is paying me I don't put stickers on my car... I tossed my amuse stickers too

Also I noticed you said fill in the holes on the base... that's how they attach. If you filled in you would really have no way of getting them off ever... I ordered titanium bolts for those but decided the black look fine. I dig the bolts there.
If you really wanted to you could wrap it with vinyl

OptionZero 05-27-2018 07:10 PM

Thats what I meant - vinyl, so its easily removable

Can these mirrors be easily folded back ... say when you're in a tight parking spot? I realize that you would have to re-set/re-adjust them afterwards, but would like to know whether it's even possible to fold them back. Thanks!

The non locking ones, I suppose. If you roll alone, it is a bitch if you move the passenger side out of whack. You have to keep getting in and out to adjust the mirror.
