chrism 11-28-2006, 12:21 PM how much and are these top 1/2 covers or the entire mirror?
XDEEDUBBX 11-28-2006, 12:29 PM these would look nice on my ride..cool!
FABRO 11-28-2006, 12:41 PM ^^^Exactly what Xdee said, if you have a CF hood even a CF spoiler this would look hot on your ride.
XDEEDUBBX 11-28-2006, 12:43 PM when will they be available?
fd3s777 11-28-2006, 12:59 PM They are in stock now. They are top half cover. covers the painted area of the mirror. Price is $119.
chrism 11-28-2006, 01:31 PM got any pics installed on an 8?.....if not you want a local 8 to come by and take pics? =)
fd3s777 11-28-2006, 01:49 PM ha... I think Sam have that covered. Sam pics pics...
chrism 11-28-2006, 01:55 PM do these just stick on the oem covers or are they replacements?....im trying to avoid unsightly gaps
NgoRX8 11-28-2006, 02:07 PM adhesive on the back, so i assume they stick on over.
fd3s777 11-28-2006, 02:20 PM they are stick over. These fitment is so tie, we had to use 0.4mm 3M double side tape.
chrism 11-28-2006, 03:18 PM ok so its no gonna have an odd looking edge to it and how well will it hold at speed?
XDEEDUBBX 11-28-2006, 03:23 PM pics ..now! haaa
would be a nice x mas present for myself after xmas...hopefully i wont be flat broke! (highly doubt it)
fd3s777 11-28-2006, 03:48 PM it will be flat with your black part of the mirror. I had the same mirror cover with same 3M tape on a 350Z drove on route 5 to SF at 140 MPH no problem at all.

N rider89 11-30-2006, 04:46 AM e, $119 is kinda steep.

Umbra 11-30-2006, 09:22 AM How much do they weigh vs. the stock mirrors?
XDEEDUBBX 11-30-2006, 10:33 AM they dont replace the stock mirrors, they are just covers..
fd3s777 11-30-2006, 12:37 PM yes, they are covers. Here is the installed pic.

Just got the AT cover sent to manufacture... Don't know if need to cut and show the "M" on the cover...
XDEEDUBBX 11-30-2006, 12:52 PM those look nice
dannobre 11-30-2006, 12:59 PM Do you have a picture from the mirror side...up close to the junction between the mirror and the cover.......
sorry i cant post pictures cause my cars on down time and won't be done for quite some time haha sorry jay! haha lol, but i can vouch and say that these are quality looking cf mirror covers, they look awesome.
mikefrombarrie 11-30-2006, 05:02 PM Don't like it... The whole point in adding carbon fibre parts is to reduce the weight
I say learn from the best, enzo, z06 have body parts made from carbon fibre yet they are painted.

wait really? for LHD? awesome i know there are quite a few people who would buy some on here.
also those covers look really realy nice a great add on to a CF theme
wow it does look pretty darn good to me. it woulda been better if they were replacements though since these just add weight. negligable i know, but its the principle :p:
