yeh ive seen the M3 style ones on a few cars, they are actually quite a big mirror, very wide,

chrisw · 14-08-2009, 08:00 PM

mounting brackets aren't common at all for the astinas. I shopping around alot trying to find some, best I could come up with for the BG astina was a 2001 subaru impreza, fits nicely but with about 20mm of overhang onto the window, and you have to drill 2 holes to fit it correctly, one fits in nicely though.

its that, or the DC2 integra is a very close fit. I think its the DC2

i was just gonna made the adapters.. and delete the side blinkers of the guards

Tony, post 7 shows ya what bourbs can offer, dunno bout pricing these days... may even go down this track again

What does everyone think bout the CF ones on mine?

phly · 15-08-2009, 12:52 AM

Looks like ive sparked the aero mirrors mod LOL. Im still curious as to whether theyre gonna be defective though.

marcs_sp20 · 15-08-2009, 01:00 AM

I dont think it should be a problem, unless you werent running mirrors at all (which I know in QLD is a defectable item)

marcs_sp20 · 15-08-2009, 01:04 AM

also phly, just looking at closeup photos between mine & project.r's mirrors (the adaptors themselves), and really isnt much between them... otherwise it'd be a custom job

chrisw · 15-08-2009, 11:21 AM

If they are anything like the mirrors I have bought, don't go anywhere near the carbon fibre ones, they look absolutely tacky as hell, its the worst imitation of carbon ever. Fake carbon is fine if it looks ok, but the pattern is terrible.

Stick to black or body colour, I bought similar ones without the indicator and its not bad quality, but keep it simple is the idea I guess.

pricing? I bet bourbs is better :P considering I went to carmate for mine, I had to fork out $230 for electric mirrors.

bourbon · 15-08-2009, 12:00 PM

what ones do ya want?

D Valerius · 07-11-2009, 04:51 PM

Sorry if this counts as grave digging, found these and went "i need that!"

Hell of a lot cheaper than going it for real.... must go measure....(the car...not the other thing :P)

I call rice!

Would be better if it didn't pretend to be something it's not. If it was just a coloured brake colour without "BREMBO" written on it it'd be alright...

02-KQ-LASR · 07-11-2009, 05:18 PM

kinda cool... but i recon youll cop a lot of grief for it.
it easier to just paint them imo.

maztech · 08-11-2009, 04:54 PM

There is a cx7 that comes into work with them on -- Funny as ,look a bit silly cause you can still see half of the factory caliper

D Valerius · 08-11-2009, 05:02 PM

rice no doubt to the emth degree i was going to do the calipers/rotor just plain black so their clean, thought id have a little ricey fun after theyre done until they just fall off

Black or red?

bourbon · 30-01-2010, 04:11 PM

Cai would be carbon loook

chicaboo · 30-01-2010, 04:20 PM

I dunno if you've ever listened to your car drive away off in the distance, but you might wanna give some thought to an axleback muffler too.

bourbon · 30-01-2010, 04:25 PM

of course i havnt, i drive the thing

haahha! but why would i want a new exhaust so far? if i did it it would be full complete system to free the whole thing up...but it would be a properly performance one that its guaranteed a % of increase power

There's a mod where you remove one of the mufflers on the S and it gives a much better sound and a little more power, but i don't know the specifics. My sister had it done to hers by BMW/Mini back in the day, and it sounded much better.
