Default Aerodynamic mirrors...

Did a search and found only the little F1 style CF mirrors.....anyone know a company or seen someone mount those aerodynamic style mirrors that really hug the A-pillar?

If anyone is into the VW/Porsche scene they may know what I am talking about. They dont have a little skinny arm that holds the mirror out ....they are mounted flush with the A-pillar and usually have a little round mirror inside of a really aerodynamic body.

Most of the ones I have seen stick out. I was just looking at ebay at some. I like the sounds of the one you are talking about. You got Pics?

i know what you are talking about but i dont know the make or model of any of those nub mirrors.

maybe try looking at heavily modified evo's, integras, or civics. the ones that compete in track events may have them.

yeah, those are the ones. i think they have very minimal aerodynamic effect for daily use, though styling wise are ok. however, be ready for your visibility to be basically shot to nothing.

Bomex used that style a lot for their aero mirrors. don't think they have an application for the xB though. maybe you can custom fit one from another car onto yours though. *shrug*

A buddy of mine just got those, they look sweet. I was a little hesitant at first, but they really look pretty nice.
