By locking hinges do you mean a ball and socket joint?

The goose necks themselves if that makes any sense.

FI order confirmed. Now a 4-6 week + shipping + finding a day to get the shop to install.

Dear Fast Intentions. Please put maximum effort and resources to get this bad boy to me by yesterday.

Jk... quality is not rushed

Consider yourself lucky. When I placed my order in late 2018 it took 3 months.

The EVO-R mirrors are just a shitty design. You won't have any problems with the CS mirrors regardless of the neck type you get

lol mine work fine.

Well, I've seen several sets that had the problem where they wouldn't stay in position. I sold Lein that set at a loss because of the quality. I guess some are ok and some aren't. Typical EVO-R...

Yeah I could see that. I think me and two other people from Houston got a decent batch. Other than the rattle (thanks solid motor mounts -_-) I prefer the viewing angle of those more than the OEM mirrors.

I do switch to the stock ones in the winter b/c i like putting my hand against the heated mirror. I may get some MCR glass to replace them so i can get the wide angle on both sides.

Their fog light, however, sucks. I am contemplating going back to the OEM fog light or going Top Secret.

Finished the SPL FUCA install. Wont be able to get an alignment til next week though. took her out for a quick spin, steering feels much more solid, not that there was much slop with OEM... or maybe it's all in my head..lol

Changing the caster settings will definitely result in a different steering feel, so it's not in your head.

Easy peasy.

Way different than the Evo-r ones. These have a flat non-bolt like ending to them that you tighten down with a flat head screwdrivers directly into the goodneck. You then have a small 8mm nut on the outside of the goose neck you supposedly tighten down to lock the neck into place. Then the top of the mirror has an Allen key lock for keeping the mirror assembly in place for rotations.

So this came today, courtesy of redondoaveb... tried to install it, ended up going to the ER with a case of prolonged erection lasting more than four hours

Seriously though, it's beautiful.

Glad you're happy with it.

Maybe a little too happy.

I showed the adjustment for the tca-f which doesn't have the long goose neck.
