Um, I know. I was saying they look good, but APR pwns. I'm not a real fan of 'add on' CF. If the mirrors were made of CF, not just shells, that would be baller.

APR would be great if they actually fit as promised. Bought a set over a year ago, fit like s***, returned them and got my money back.

They look pretty good. Almost stock looking, but not quite.
I have a hard time thinking of any manual mirror as an upgrade from power mirrors. CF doesn't make it any less annoying to have to stop the car to adjust the passenger side mirror.

My '84 Caddy actually had non-electronic cable-connected joysticks for adjusting the mirrors from the driver seat. Separate stick for each mirror.

I'm just saying.

It's like when people get the 'CF quarter panels' for their cars that have to be riveted to the body. The whole idea behind CF is lightweight but extremely durable. When you just add it to something that's already there, you're defeating the purpose. Not that the 4th gen is a beast anyways, just my thoughts .
