Cool RalliArt Side Mirrors

Just installed the RalliArt side mirrors, flat black (also comes in carbon look) finish. OEM fit, motorized. No need to fold mirrors for parking haha. Highly recommend if you like the tea cup look. Attaching multiple angles... photo skills need some work so bare with me.

Nice looking ride. I like the SSRs as well. How is the visibility with those mirrors? Is it really reduced, or are the mirrors convex? Tight ride.

I am pissed that the Evo comes stock with Toyota Camry side mirrors. It should have Ralliart style mirrors from the factory

Thanks... those are actually the racing advan RG's ... look almost identical to SSR's but the spoke ends taper out more.

Visibility is fine. They are a bit convex but overall area will be less than OEM mirrors. Good enough though, you don't need to see your own door handles. I have them maxed out on both sides looking away from the car just enough to see the blind spots. Visibility is reasonable. Just have to get used to them before you start cutting around.

There are a lot of manufactures who make this style other than ralli art. FRP and no motor, quite a bit less costly. I got mine second hand so it wasn't so painful.

LOL yea I needed something to iron my clothes on.

This wing is actually the same height as the stock one and smaller/lighter over all. Less mass in the rear and it fit the OEM holes.

hmm, i was thinking about getting these but on Z1 auto it says that they are designed for right-hand drive vehicles and so visibility is reduced for left hand drive... any thoughts?
