I think they look good....It gives the car a more aero-dynamic look. But if there anything like the Knightsport side mirrors you really don't see **** out of them.

I think It would look badass if you moved the stock mirors and put them on the front

I just had to cut the triangle part down and drill new holes to mount the mirror to the smaller triangle. They look more sleek on my car. Plus they match my side skirts and my hood when i get it.
Both mirrors are the wide angle lens.

They don’t look bad, but they do look a little misproportioned (first impression) from one of the pics.
Question is can you see out of them properly?

Hey hows that fuel rail holding out?
