I see atleast one gap on there and you can CLEARLY see that it is bigger than the black plastic bit the OEM one is on.

tis a shame

not bad, the mirrors are the ugliest piece on the Z IMO still waiting on replacements to be released

Damn, rough crowd...I think they look good and nobody will notice unless they know what they are looking for, especially when you are speeding down the road!

i agree man..... lol... i think it looks worse because of flash and it was taking at night.... honestly because the plastic part that isnt covered with cf is even all around i think it looks factory.... im really anal when it comes to parts and fitment.... i think these look better than the half carbon ones everyone is selling... those one looks like they ran outa carbon fiber because its only half the mirror covered....

I am not talking about it being all covered.

you have the plastic

and then a high difference because of the carbon slammed ontop of the OEM cover.

reminds me of those civics I see once in a while

atleast this is real carbon I think

I know I am being tough but if you are going to put carbon on your car make it replace the OEM not go ontop of the OEM

I agree... overlays are adding weight to the car, which is the opposite purpose of CF, right?

i would have went with replacements which were the stage 2... but i dont like the fact its cut off half way.... i know i was gonna get comments about it being retarded adding weight on the car... but the weight added by the carbon mirror side mirror covers is insignificant... they weight about 2 pounds each.... something ill get back somewhere else...

plus thats what my bolt ons are for lol

true.... thats why i said it was an accent... i never said it would save me weight and yes cf is meant to save weight the only thing i can think that can save weight is changing the metal fenders to cf... everything else is already paper weight....
