theZstore full carbon fiber mirror covers... stage 1
 

hello everyone... i just installed these in my car and i wanted to do a review since the results were really GREAT.... i wanna start off by saying the pieces of carbon fiber the zstore sells is great... the weave is straight.. and fitment is perfect :tup: it was literally like a glove... i test fitted the driver side... and pushed it all the way in... i realized... i couldnt remove it LOL it took me about ten minutes of prying to remove the side i was test fitting... :tup: everything was sooo shiny... here are the pics....

Do those replace the normal cover or just go over them.

Looks good man. doubt these look any good on a PG but its nice on red

Looks good. More pics with the whole car in view!

it goes over the whole mirror... like a cap... thanks man :happydance:


ill get more pics tomoro... but when i was looking at it .... it looks like my side mirror overlays... lol :bowrofl: like... you wont notice it until its in the sun or.... u go up close... LOL

Haha! That's right, I forgot you already had the black overlays on before you got the mirror covers. :tup:

Can you post pictures of the mirror side so we can see the edges, if any, they overlay creates?

that!!! i can do right now :D hold on give me 5 mins LOL

:tup:

Holy cow, those are hot!

Added to my wish list...

here u go m4... sorry the whole body pics are blurry its already night thats why :o.... but yah the gap is about 1/8 all around :D

simota- lookin' good! That is a nice fit. Man hope they do the rear valances soon!

thanks man :tup:

haha thats dope now no need for clear bra on the mirrors because u got protection already lmao =]

stage 1 is overlay and stage 2 is direct replacement?

nice man!!! How much these costs you>

Uck you can see that it isn't a replacement for the stock one on this picture but just one that goes ontop of it

looks shitty

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

waaaa?! :icon14:

but you dont see the red mirror housing or gaps all around. it's a good fit.

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

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!

correct :D

it was $235 :rolleyes:

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 :roflpuke2:

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

haha toughhhhh crowd for sure.

simota y not stage 2? any reason why or just kind of experimenting?

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

now a days its not about weight savings..its about looks..

example: cf hood and stock hood..stock hood is freaking light already u wont save much savings period...

if you want to save weight..go on a diet and eat dem SALADS lmao!

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... :tup: plus thats what my bolt ons are for lol

i didnt get the stage 2 because i saw some ugly pics and qaulity of the stage 2 looked a lil :ugh2:

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....

exactly..... i remember seibon made a cf for the lotus elise and the cf version was heavier than the stock ones..... :bowrofl:

now come to cali so u can do all ur unique painting techniques on my car!
ready go =]

ima get the stage 2 but i have no clue how the hell to remove the oem ones :eek:help please!

that is another reason why i didnt get the stage 2... i might break sh!t on my z... :o

Best 370Z mirror covers on the market!

were you dumped by your gf lately? :icon18:

Note to self: Next time, be sure to write "HELLO, THIS IS SARCASM! YES, KIDS, SARCASM. ONE LAST TIME, IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, I WAS BEING SARCASTIC." :rolleyes:

No. I am just extremely difficult to please :roflpuke2:

Why do some people on here always talk about weight savings like a couple of pounds is going to make any difference on a daily-driver? I understand some people track and race their cars but that's going in another direction. If people want carbon for the look, so be it. I'm sure a lot of people bought the Z for its looks as well. It's your car, do what you think looks good. You'll be the one driving it every day. I personally like carbon accents on cars if done right.

ok fair enough! :tup:

I just looked at the stage 2 mirror covers. I don't see this "half" covered problem that the OP said.

it perfectly replaces the OEM one

Correct.

Michael

Pleaaase.

haha the guy hating on stage 1 product from the same company...:owned:
