Official Aftermarket Mirror Picture Thread
Well after the other thread that was made recently failed, I thought I would try again and start if off with my own contribution. Feel free to add pictures of your own or leave comments.

Thanks raytrix.
Driving impressions of the Craft Square mirrors:
Having had then installed now for a few days and done a fair amount of driving I can honstly say that I think it was a really worth while upgrade.
PROS:
-The "A" pillar blind spot that was pretty bad with the OEM mirrors is not gone, however it is significantly reduced.
-They look 100 times better then the dumbo inspired OEM mirrors.
-The blue anti-glare glass is a nice touch and seems to work to some extent.
-Horizontal field of view has increased which is a good thing, as it allows me to see more of the road around my car.
CONS:
-Vertical field of view is reduced due to the mirrors being a lot more narrow then OEM, however this isn't a major issue when driving, more of an issue when parking looking for lines on the ground of low level objects.
-Electric control of the mirrors is gone. They have to be adjusted by hand.
-As the mirror glass is smaller then OEM, so is everything it reflects. Smaller objects become harder to see. It's like down grading in monitor size from say 22 inch to 19 inch. You are still looking at the same thing its just smaller.

I cant see the second posters pictures, maybe because i am on my phone but the op's mirrors do look really nice. This is definitely the next thing i do. So far i have only done tint and a full twm cage/sts kit w/ blox limited type r knob. Mirrors are next for my cb 2014 gsr then on to the engine! Hope some others post their mirrors to help me decide with what im going to go with.
