Mirrors look great. Definitely adds a nice look to the Z...nice review too

Hydra 11-28-2012 02:27 PM

they look amazing , lot better than the stock ones, but the problem is , do they fold in on high speeds ????

I'm pretty sure they won't as long as you tighten all the adjustment screws down once you have your viewing angle how you like it. The roads are pretty bad and bumpy here and my KW3 suspension is pretty stiff, but the mirrors haven't moved position. I probably won't go on the Autobahn or track it for another several months...I hate winter.

aha , i used to have similar ones on my 350z (bought from ebay), one month later i went back to the stock mirors...

Just out of curiosity for anyone that has these mirrors or even the craftsquare, why does the mirror stalk come out of the mounting plate on a bulge that looks detached? Not only that but you can see the nut holding the stalk from inside the car. Why not just have a clean cover with the mirror coming out of it much like the stock mirror does.
The mirror and stalk are adjustable so set forward a few inches shouldn't matter.

"part that looks detached"?....are you talking about the black part or the silver part? The silver part houses the ball joint. As far as seeing the nut from the inside...I believe its so you can adjust/tighten settings without taking the whole door off again.

Thanks that makes sense. I forgot you have to take the door apart to get at the back of the mounting plate.
On a similar thought, I wish the Z would have come with mirrors like the GT-R which I think would have matched the car better, both in looks and mounting style.

Z370Z011 04-01-2013 12:33 PM

hmm, i think i like these
i wonder what they look like in person

martin82 04-01-2013 01:13 PM

Here are some off my car:
Big thanks to Evo-R for these awesome mirrors. I have more install pics I will post later.
Once adjusted the mirrors work great, I don't miss the stock mirrors at all, mirrors have a slight concavity so no longer do I have any issues with blind spots etc. Got tons of compliments on them as well.

These mirrors do look great but good luck getting ahold of them to purchase a set. I've sent a couple e-mails inquiring about them with no response.

simota1 04-02-2013 08:49 AM

what gets me about these is.... they have a nicer base than the craftsquares... the craftsqaures are so flat :( the lines of this base is like the oem mirror sort off

EVOR 04-02-2013 09:15 AM

Sorry guys for no reply. I have them in stock ready to go

EVOR 04-02-2013 09:16 AM

Martin thanks for great photos

silviakid02 04-02-2013 10:09 AM

Are they available in a black base and can you PM me a price shipped to 06040. They are displayed on your website but there is no link to add them to the cart.

EVOR 04-02-2013 10:33 AM

I'm still offering $359 shipped. Free shipping. In stock

martin82 04-02-2013 11:10 AM

FYI, these were tested to 152mph!! No folding! Just gotta tighten everything down!

Good to know! Need to save up for these now.

370Z JT 04-08-2013 10:27 PM

:yum: Been eyeing these for a while now. Might have to jump on them.

martin82 04-22-2013 06:15 PM

I forgot to upload these pics of my install.

very easy to do, I was able to just pry off the top of the side door by removing 1 bolt only and gave me enough access.
https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...41495563_n.jpg

Pulled open the top only, unclip the harness/electrical shown:
https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...19143844_n.jpg

removed the triangle trim
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...32024256_n.jpg

Remove 3 nuts and remove the mirrors, then remove trim, and put the EvoR mirrors back on, don't forget to add the triangle trim on the inside (not pictured here):
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...62556048_n.jpg

Just make sure to tighten up everything up to minimize any shake on the mirrors etc. Install is VERY easy.

370Z JT 04-22-2013 08:06 PM

Thanks man. Will install mine this weekend.

ENT-Z 04-22-2013 09:21 PM

Could you drive around town with these mirrors or is it just for track use? i.e. does it reduce visibility versus stock mirrors?

martin82 04-23-2013 01:38 AM

The mirrors have a wider angle but narrower height, once adjusted properly I can see better than stock due to wide angle.

Dzel 04-23-2013 04:58 AM

There are nice I might do this later.

Perf.Des 04-23-2013 09:56 PM

Just got mine...As soon as I finish color-matching the bases Ill install them with pics.

EVOR 04-24-2013 09:52 PM

Martin, Thanks for the info

martin82 04-25-2013 12:33 PM

No problem, everyone loves the mirrors!

Love these mirrors!

DarkJak 04-25-2013 01:10 PM

Are there any plans of producting a design that hinges at the corners without the stem, like the other type of Craftsquare mirrors?

I painted the bases and got it all installed. I do have one question, why or what is the purpose of the black tape your instructions call for?

EVOR 05-07-2013 03:44 PM

Nice, on the bottom part of mirro base used to have a rubber seal from stock mirror to cover a very small line. So this black tape is to cover that part.

martin82 05-07-2013 05:17 PM

mirrors held on fine on a nice drift lol:
