i do not want to get points again, so iam not allowed to share infos unless i pay hundreds of dollars /month. Only thing is i can tell you it is no brand behind it, hand made for rally cars. Since we have to be street legal we need mirrors so some serious racing developers - fabricators makes parts for us. Which are doesnt labeld with any name. But racers does know where you get them.

Sorry about this.

Rob

^^ Not motorized I'm guessing??

I'd love to get mirrors like that. Looks much better than stock and are probably more aerodynamic (I can always hear noise from wind hitting mine).. just not sure I'd wanna give up the convenience of electric adjustment.

"What's behind you is not important."

- Think it's an italian saying in motorsports that has been attributed to or used by Enzo Ferrari, Ferruccio Lamborghini & Valentino Balboni.

no that was a real issue for me , because my seats and teh position, no mid rearview mirror and my crappy side mirros, i had no chance to see back at all.
So even to back up in the garage i needed a help. So on track was kind of sketchy. But i did run a great grupe of guys who look it out for me. So really i had no issues.
It is scary to run between a lot more power full cars not to mention they are a lot more lighter better tires ect , to knowing anybody at any second can be behind you to pass. So ooking a head and try to scan the track behind you while making turns with a crappy mirrors ar not fun.
Now those days are over Mirrors be here tomorrow

so my mirror arrived in the USA.
I couldnt resist and i did a measure ment with my wife kitchen scale. LOL

I am sure it is off , but i dont know which way and how much. I am sure not much though. the mirrors are incredibly light. Even though its a mirror and not that small actually as i thought.

They are top notch and looking awesome on the table

I do not install them yet , since i am waiting one other CF part and i will do them together.

So here is the number for both mirror :
