The APRs do not look bad. I think I wouldgo with these as well just due to cost. If I had the funds for the Craft mirrors would get those.

How is the mounting of the APRs?

When removing the stock mirrors did you have any problems with marks being left behind from the mounting base?

Not entirely sure on the mounting as they came on my car already installed when I bought it. There is a SLIGHT mark where the stock mirrors were, but not much at all, you don't notice it at all until you try and find any marks.

Mine have the blue tint on them, so it makes night driving a little better.

If you want CraftSquare mirrors you should PM "ARD T2" AKA Rishie of AutoRnD they are a vendor on this forum and a authorized US CraftSquare distributor.

C/S also makes A-pillar versions for the FD as well with an optional light bulb turn signal piece to fill the door hole.

I got my set through Rishie. The CraftSquare quality is superb. Not the cheapest mirrors but you usually get what you pay for.

I like the APR mirrors better than the Craft Square ones myself.

I just wish there were different mounting brackets that attached to the little triangle in fron of the window.

I hate the fact that the mirrors on theses cars is attached to the door skin.

Just a personal prefrence.

I think these mirrors would look simply look better mounter to the triangle in front of the window.

I hate holes in my body pannels.

In fact I'm removing my antenna and smoothing it out to clean up the lines of the car... (sorry for getting side-tracked)

does APR offer different mounting location brackets like craft square does?
