Craftsquare Carbon mirrors

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.

It would only be the driver's side that would need to be folded back because of my parking situation at work. I just need to know how adjustable the mirror is at the stem ... and whether it can be moved so that the mirror runs parallel to the window. In other words, can you grab the mirror and pull it toward the car like you can with the stock mirrors?

They are meant to be set and left in that position. To move them, you should loosen them first which is not difficult but more time consuming than necessary for just convince.

Dont get them if you need this option... but they dont stick out as far as the stock mirrors I believe they have a convex mirror so you get more visually for the blind spots but they are tiny compared to the truck mirrors that come on the car.

OK, thanks ... that helps!

Joining the club (soon)!

Placed my order for a set of TCA-F mirrors [with the locking/lockable base and the blue lens] off of rhdjapan!

Can't wait!

I'm hoping I found a temporary solution to my delayed CS purchase. Texas only requires one rearward facing mirror to pass inspection. So I just removed both sideview mirrors. We'll see how the inspection goes as soon as I get her roadworthy again. The law says "reasonable view of the rear"

$599 + shipping for the TC-F, TC-R, blue lens...

Quick question for you guys (while I wait for my mirrors...almost time!):

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
