Unhappy don't like the side mirror, what can I do ?

I can't see with this too big mirror. I can't turn left quickly corners. I really don't like it. I've search other mirror but the only one is this one below. I don't like it because I think it's going to shake too much. It's made with a little attachment.

Is there someone with other solutions ?

really thanks

These will fit on the Evo X. APR Formula GT3 Carbon Fiber side mirrors.

wow, thanks for your help.
But is't almost the same thing, but a little bit smaller. It's better than nothing, and not worst than "JUN aero mirror"

Where do you find it (or where can I buy it) (my first one is not cheap, more than 700 $)

really thanks

I saw it on the net. It's less expensive, but I think it's not a good one because we see 2 or 3 screws, and doesn't seem to have a good adjustment !!!!!!

other help needed

thanks again

+1 I must be used to it by now, but the large mirrors combined with the A-pillar definitely make looking around turns more difficult.

And does anyone have a price for the APR mirrors? Meh, on them not being electronically adjustable.

APR one doesn't look as fancy as the JUN one with no hardware showing. APR's side mirror does it job and been tested for aerodynamics and reduced drag. Most of the JDM racecars use this brand for side mirrors, it's effective and cheap to replace at $250-$350 a pair. Supposely people have said that the Evo8/9 version of the mirror will fit on the Evo 10's mirror base. You can either wait till they make an official one that fits on the Evo 10's base or try to fit the Evo8/9 version. APR's website has a car fitted with those mirrors, also Super Street has an article on a Red Evo X with APR's Formulate GT3 side mirrors.

Do you have pictures? I remember seeing a thread about a someone selling these on eBay, but by the time I found the thread the auction had ended and the pictures were gone. I remember a lot of people saying they were ugly, but from the pictures I don't think they look bad. And they're a lot smaller than the OEM (elephant-sized) mirrors.

The APR mirrors are serious business. Most of the Formula D cars use them.
I have them on my STI. They dont shake at all. We can get them...
