CraftsSquare TCA-F Installed.
 

i love this thing. I ordered directly through CraftSquare in Japan...had it shipped to my pops place, and he shipped it to me via post. wife has yen from like a decade ago when yen wasn't so strong so it didn't cost me much... like in my head $450. :p

actual price was 55550JPY shipped to my door... or about $685 if USD.
Im thinking most vendors will sell these $800-850 range.

the order took about 4wks lead-time. it was originally scheduled to ship after GoldenWeek, but the guy pull-in for me and shipped 2wks in advance. :tup:

comparing with the stock dumbo ears it's almost like 1/2 the size...and obviously light weight.

installation took me no more than 15min per side taking my dandy time. :tup: there's really nothing to it. just take the door panel off, unscrew the stock mirror off, and swap with the TCA-F. do the window re-set and walla.
comes with illustrated instructions... it's in japanese but the illustration is plenty.

setting it up, all i did was drive around for a few mins, stopped the car, manually pivot the mirror to my liking. it's very easy to setup because the mirror is a convex reflection (not sure technical term) so it's very wide view. i can have a portion of the rear quarter reflecting in the mirror yet still have no blind spots. :tup: no more walgreens stick-on convex mirrors needed on your dumbo ears for those that used them. :ugh2: :rofl2:

also, no more stupid blind spot when making left-hand turns! :icon17: this is perfect because we have a lot of silly donation collecting people :icon14: in busy intersections and now i wont have to worry about hitting them.

i took them up to expressway speeds, no whistling noises, no vibration. :tup:

highly recommended. :tup:

:tup: Nice, much better than Dumbo's mirrors that obstruct driver-side views.

I like these alot, I hate my blind spot mirrors >=( Will you help me order some for 685 when im ready? =D

Also is there a reason with these you had to remove the door panel? When I took mine off to do my wrap I just pulled back on the panel a bit and the backing plate came right out.

I had the same kind on my 350 but I couldn't make out what cars were behind me, especially when moving. They ended up more or less being reference points in traffic. Maybe there more sterdy now. I still would buy more. I love the look.

Took my Z out for a nice 2hr drive. No issue making out the car in mine. Like I mentioned earlier there is no vibration. :) its so easy to see around me now so its awesome! :tup:

Thanks. :D

Hahaha, I don't think I want to be a vendor. :rofl2: remember im a manufacturer type.

As for removing the door panel it is a compete replacement of the mirror from the mirror base. The mirror housing is CF core, mirror base is aluminum. Its beautifully handmade. :tup:

i love the mirrors bro.... makes me regret buying the carbon covers for the dumbo mirrors..... :(

i should order these, i have some yen lying around from my last trip to japan when 1 USD = 128 yen...

yep, now is a good time to put it to use. :tup:

Looks good Ken . Mike should put these on his Orange edition, these in orange would suit his "race car looks"'amlot better.

Thanks JB. :D yah definitely will go well on track cars. :p

Never a huge fan of those mirrors...I thought about them on my 350 but went with the ganadors instead...not sure if they're available for the 370 tho.
Btw, I have wrapped a set of the bases for someone back in the day in plain weave to match the mirrors...if you're interested.....

Oh nice, first set I that I have seen on a 370z and they look good. :tup:

Would u stop advertising crap on other people's threads? WTF...:ugh2:

Thanks! :tup:

Can you take a close up side shot of the mirror on the car. Is that the mounting holes I see from the outside?

Sorry man...

cool. :tup: thanks for that. :)

mirrors look good, personally I prefer craft square over ganador... I know ganador specs the mirrors to right hand drive cars so sometimes they are a bit annoying with blind spots and these don't have that problem... oh and nice wheels :)

KamiSpeed- that's exatly right.

my first question to craftssquare was if the mirror was the same on both sides (cause in Japan cars are RHD) and their answer was 'yes.' otherwise i would not have gotten it, actually. :)

thanks on the wheels. :p

yea I made the error of ignoring that fact the first time I ordered ganador mirrors :shakes head:

Ken, would you post a close look on the mirrors?
thanks man..
it looks really good on the Z

Come on now, he was offering to CF your bases!! :tup:

I say go for it! ;)

close look as in the reflection itself or a close up of the mirrors?

was the picts i posted on the 1st page not close enough??? :confused:



the housing is CF from the core so i prefer the base be a matte black aluminum painted piece. i like the contrast. CF is good to accent but not everything CF CF CF CF CF or gotta CF my wife. :icon17:

:icon17:

I want a CF toilet seat! :rofl2:

i dont know. seems too small for the car. makes me think of chicken wings. maybe if the mirrors were a little bit bigger in size. But glad to hear u love it ken. thats all that matters.

hahaha dave over at carbonfibergear had them at one time. lol

its cuts lifting the seat time by 2 seconds and reduces drag on your pee :icon18:

No offense but these are so ugly and wth they cost so damn much!
lol!
How much weight savings do you really get...?
You think it's really worth 600 usd?!
:O
Maybe I have bad taste but I do not like it...
:T
Makes the Z look deformed!

Lol! :icon18:

Good! It'd be the first time koreans doesn't copy the japanese. Keep it up. :tup: ;) jk

doesnt flow with the car *shrugs* Hard edged square things dont go well with it

well now, you like that aerokit on your 350z so you and i and many others have VERY DIFFERENT taste. :)


dang it i forgot to take closeup snaps for Adam while i was in the garage moments ago... :shakes head:

The seat is JDM so your toilet handle must be on the opposite side of the toilet :icon17:
