***NEW***Rexpeed Convex Mirrors w/heater option for BRZ!

Just got these in for all the BRZ guys out there with the heated mirror option. Finally, Rexpeed has a convex mirror option for you all.

These are just like the original convex mirrors, but have the electrical connections for the heater. Check out our original thread for more information on install and before and after shots.

Below are the new heated mirrors

You want to really impress us, make an affordable conversion kit so those of us who don't have heated mirrors can make use of these.

Take your mirror off (it is just fixed with clips) and see if you have wiring there, if you don't than you will not be able to make a super easy conversion kit. Running wires through the door and cleanly into your fuse box or one of the wiring hubs is not typically a plug and play kit.

However there may be instructions in the DIY area

I have the heated indicator mirrors, I haven't bothered wiring them up yet. However, the better visibility you get from curved glass is SO WORTH IT! I feel like I'm looking in a dentist's mirror driving my other car.

I custom installed mine before these came out. Yeah, these mirrors are the best investment I ever made.

I bought this heat grid

Installation is easy. Just make sure to pry out the mirror slowly. You will be okay.

I didn't say it had to be plug and play. Something I can work with will do.
