Looking at maybe swapping out my oem sideview mirrors for aftermarket ones, so lets see them

Good idea. I want some light aftermarket Carbon Fiber ones.

Here are my set of CF ones bought off jdmmonkey.
Fitment is pretty good, its basically a craftsquare knockoff but instead of the cnc'd alum baseplate it uses a composite one with a CF overlay.
Mirrors are convex and helps in seeing the blindspot. I love them.
Install was pretty straightforward:

Is the mirror piece real cf?
I don't have photo at the moment..car in paint shop. My mirrors are 2009 OEM Corvette. Modified base for perfect fit. Will post photos soon.:smile:
Yup, the mirror housing is CF.
Sounds interesting
I just googled a pic of the 209 Vette and the mirrors look kinda like smaller oem nsx mirrors. Post 'em up!

They're made by MRacing and here's the sale thread he made for them:

The mirrors themselves look nice but I would prefer a set that mounts on the oem position on the doors since with these you'll need to figure out what to do to esthetically cover up the hole and indentation on the doors.
How much did those go for? And where can I get them?

Same here Craft Square mirrors, no need to post pics. Too many in here. Possibly going to sell to go different.

more craft square:
scorp- are those craft squares? Did you just paint the base?
Scorp's are the same as mine.

Actually larger than oem. Longer stalk too. Look oem compared to some of the screws exposed racing ones....
Is it just me, or do the Craft square mirrors look like they came off a motorcycle? I went with the vette mirrors because when installed they at least appear to be oem. STMPO makes a different looking mirror. It appears like its oem also. Too many non matching add ons to the NSX look cheap and Pepboys to me...Color matched pieces look better at least on the mirrors....just my 2cents.:smile:
IMHO, I like the craftsquare because they have been tried and tested in 150+ mph conditions. They are a good fit and designed for the NSX. Sure, it screams aftermarket, but not very atypical for Japanese styling... that's how it is. Using unpainted Carbon fiber subtly, gives some nice contrast and doesn't necessarily take away from the aesthetics. I typically don't like unpainted CF hoods and that sort of thing, but I don't mind it on lips, spoilers, mirrors, etc. The key is small and subtle. Personally, I'm not a big fan of going with vette mirrors because that is sacrilege. (jk). :wink:
Ok they are not vette mirrors. I hand made them from scratch, and had glass made to fit. How is that? :biggrin:

These are the same mirrors that oyagi has, took some work for me to get them to look this clean. The bases don't fit snug to the door when installed but found a solution from eric. Now the bases mount perfectly and is sealed all around the edge, no gaps. The polished caps at top are not from the vendor and were sourced separately, as are the longer stalks and black screws. The amber tone is from my garage light, these have a normal grey cf look in daylight.
