you are kidding, right?
Nope. Not at all.

Isn't carbon fiber used for its strength and light weight?

The only reason why I would buy a carbon fiber mirror would be for its weight advantage.

Others can buy it for its aesthetic qualities. But, for me, that's rice.

Even if it is lighter, how much can a mirror save? Think about it. You probably can save more weight by wearing lighter clothing. Anyway, it's a great replacement for those OEM mirror. My stock mirror is about to fall off.

this is not to save weight. i personally think it looks tight. call it rice if you want, but if it looks good, its fine with me. if you do something that makes your car look better, is it rice??

not ALL modifications must have a performance benifit ya know.

Hey thanks for standing up for me while I was gone, potatobbq.

As for Node, it's cool, sorry about the comment - I was just kidding. I already know the guys on this board are decent people because my friend posts and browses here and sends me tons of links all the time.

...oh yeah, and the lights behind the grill are pretty strong. I use them whenever I need more lighting...if my car didn't already have enough...

Yeah, $65 isn't too bad for mirrors...thx

I'm working on getting this for my seat too.
Those things are $100 more than the Bride/EastBear stuff!! I need the sliding feature for ingress/egress. Not too concerned about gaining headroom (think we get an inch or so cuz buckets have no or little padding).

lol, im an idiot and wasnt paying attention. Totally my fault for not noticing. Thought it was another person w/ the "If you don't have na RX-7, why are you here" theory.

I don't need it to slide. I'm the only one will drive this car. My only concerns are leg room and head room.


as for Node, the thing is you should work on getting the car first or learn how the RX-7 work. Not what parts(no performance) you going to get. It's a waste of time. Get a part time job and earn some money. Don't stay here all day. Or you will NEVER get any car. Don't just all talk. Do something about it.
