Default xB aftermarket mirror.

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I've been on the boards so this may be old news but does anyone have these mirrors? Got pics?

Hey thanks. I saw the pics in your profile. Do you have a side view and a straight on view so I can get an idea of what to expect?

Yeah the bad part is you have to adjust them manually. Its ok until somebody walks into one or they decide to play with it and you have to re-adjust it every ten minutes....

I dont think I have any pics of them specifically. If I think of it and I have my camera out this weekend I will take some more pics...

Are you saying this because you know it to be true or is it just something you think to be true?

From true experience you can see just fine. They have a convex lense which actually affords you more horizontal visibility than stock mirrors. Besides, who need to see the sky or the pavement. Horizontal view is the most important anyway. I dont think they look out of place at all on the car. I think they look awesome!

Let me exemplify.... ....yeah, thats my hot whip

When I sat in a box that had them it didn't look good to me. Same with the M3 styled ones. But then again, I've got more mirror than anyone so maybe its just me. Then again, people sometimes accept things for style or get used to things so who knows...

Can you really see out of those? It seems like the driver's side would be blocked by the A-pillar.

The drivers side mirror is actually the one that works best. The passenger side mirror is slightly blocked by the windshield wiper.

Plus it doesn't matter how usefull they are when they look as badass as they do... lol
