I will never understand modifying a car for the sake of modifying it (Like adding mirrors when your OEM units function just fine).

If thats the case, why even change your shift knob?

The only reason I changed my mirrors is due to the lack of visibilty when make left turns. This may not be a issue with taller people...plus the Craft Square mirrors offer better horizontal visibilty than stock since theyre convex

C'mon dude, some people think the stock mirrors look like elephant ears so therefore they change them - plus Mr Dan is legit so I would take his word anyday.

No idea yet. I'm hoping a vendor will be able to get their hands on these soon.

They are available through japanparts .com since last month. I'm going to wait till I see it installed before I can make a better judgment. Looks like they put the stalk base towards the end for more visibility. But that makes the mirrors look weird IMO.

Yea they really didnt need to place the mirror that far back. The base is made from cast aluminum and coated in black which will chip overtime (happened to my last set on my evo 9)


See how much the factory mirrors blocks vision during left hand corners due to the LARGE forward-leaning mirror housing


Not a problem with the Craft Squares...helps out a lot taking left corners at the track!

Dammit, Dan, now I'm going to have "OVERSIZED MIRRORS" in my head whenever I take a sweeping left hander.

How do you find visibility with the mirrors compared to stock? Is it tolerable for daily driving?

That's my main concern.
