Design or function wise they do little.

It is just to possess a JDM piece(I'd not do a replica)that makes it all worthwhile.

Did the same on front JDM canards on my Z33.

A rite of passage and dollars.

Yes,for us car guys--well worth it.

I think you will be in the minority too because they are very functional and not just a look at me mod. I love having greatly increased visibility not only to the sides of the car but the forward visibility of losing the gigantic oem mirror.

I track my car and these type mirrors are way better than oem. There is a reason these type of mirrors are on real race cars. Also if you own a Z, you are already in the look at me club.

Madwi and Hotrodz both make excellent points.

JDM is definitely not a priority for me. But better visibility both forward and rearward is a huge benefit for functionality as well as safety. Not to mention the OEM mirrors are just fugly.

Yep, it could take another month. You would think someplace like The Z Store would stock a few pair.
