Hey Chamberlin, are those Mazdaspeed mirrors you have? I am debating getting them but was't sure how the fit was. Your 8 looks really nice.

Thanks for the compliment Bob - yes, they are the 'Mazdaspeed' mirrors, made by Ganador. I am probably gonna get new glass cut for them, cause it's REALLY hard to get used to the magnification on the driver's side!

Just gotta get the fender vents and then its on to modifying the rear bumper.

So, the zip tie is visible though the mesh once installed? I'm not feelin' the luv yet. Maybe an installed pic would help convince me. Link up yet to purchase?

I'd personally rather not have the side signal lamp myself, and I remember some bumpers that don't have it, but I thought all the MS ones do...

The ganadors with the LEDs are pretty gaudy in my book....

p.s. ooops, I thought you were talking about the bumper and the mirrors, not just the mirrors..... I thought the Ganadors were made for the Mazdaspeed car??? Or does Mazda actually have this style of mirror available, and Ganador copied it?
I really like the prodrive mirrors the best though!

Yes, direct attach by zip ties. No clips. You won't see the zip tie, since it is attach on the inner part of the mash. That part of mash is not visible when installed. This is same exact as the FRP version, just he mash part is different. FRP version lot of you guys had problem to fit them in. Cuz the clips on the back is in the way. This time no clips and mash is direct on it. This ABS will direct slip on and nothing will be in its way. Once installed will look like this.

I some option in painted in factory color or any color you want. Also Will offer in carbon fiber look. (water marked)

hey cool! should be an easy install. But if you don't want the mesh, you ain't going to use these! So far I have left off the mesh on my Seibon hood (BTW, thanks for the kudos R Magic!) but since you are using the same mesh as Seibon, I will re-install my hood mesh to match your side vents! NOW, when you accepting payment and when are you able to ship, and most importantly, what's the unpainted price?

THANKS triple 7!

so is it okay to install these right out of the box? or do they at least need a clear coat or something? does that mean you won't ever make a real cf version?

Cf version is still been work on. I should have some next week. These are direct ABS surface items. So if you want it to have nice look, best if you paint them. I do offer paint service to any color you want.
