You're coming out to the meet right?

So far yes.

I'm trying to be at my best behavior here at home. Otherwise, I'm grounded.

Regarding these mirrors. I am still not used to the convex. I found out today that objects in mirror are way closer than they appear. I got the finger from a female driver after a visit to AeroJacket today. My signals were on so I could change lanes, she knew I was getting in, but I know she floored it to keep me from getting into her lane. Not sure that mashing her gas pedal did anything for her other than pissed her off.

It takes about a week to get used to the convexness. (Or that's about how long it took for me.) Now lane changes are easier than ever before. (I also have the Craftsquares)

I must say that convex image processing and translating to relative distance after looking at your flat rear view mirror image takes some getting used to.
Despite this -- I have never felt so confident with dealing with my blind spots. The angle you get from these things are incredible.

axmea? · 07-13-2014, 02:31 AM

Washed her today and took some shots after. So I just did the nose finisher, the Zoom Engineering blue mirrors, and the duckbill spoiler. I will have the headlights done by paperboy next week. Black housing, white shrouds, dual Mirimoto halo's, and STi clear lenses. While the bumper is out, I will clean my air filters.

Blue mirrors are great. Now I'm used to it. You have a much better view and the angle you get is incredible. The image on the mirror is closer than they appear. I practiced by parking next to my other car and moved forward in increments and then stepping out to see where it is at. This established a reference point for me.

Shadezz · 07-15-2014, 04:06 PM

Okay...I think you've sold me on the Nissan Nose Finisher...It does go with my kit, but hesitated before seeing you make the move on it..Gives the upper lip of the mouth.

6MT-Z34 · 07-16-2014, 09:11 AM

Cool! Does the heard mirror feature still work? This is something I'm thinking of but I would like to keep that feature since I live in the north east

axmea? · 07-16-2014, 11:11 AM

Sorry, you can't have it all. The heated feature goes away. The blue mirrors sit on top of the OEM mirrors. I get why you would want the heated mirrors though. Ganador makes a full replacement and it is motorized but I'm not sure if the heated feature works.
