Cool ***Rexpeed Convex Side Mirrors and Carbon Fiber Side Mirror Covers***

We got some new goodies in the shop the other day and wanted to share with everyone some great new products from Rexpeed.

What we have here today are the Rexpeed Convex Side Mirrors and Rexpeed Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers. These are both great little touches that will set your FRS/BRZ apart from the others and they won't bust your wallet

The quality on both items are exceptional. The convex mirrors are thick and the exact size to cover up the entire area of the existing mirror. Installation is as simple as "peel and stick". The Carbon covers are the same story. Beautiful carbon weave and the shape is perfect. These contour the exact shape of the mirror and cover up the entire painted area of the side mirror. No cheesy gaps that will show the color underneath. Attention to detail was definitely a priority with these pieces.

As you can see in the pics, the visibility is greatly increased with the convex mirrors. We will also have a quick little demo video that will show the differences, as well.

Here are some before and after pics of these pieces installed

Rexpeed/After

Rexpeed Carbon/After

















So, as some of you already know, our last batch of Rexpeed mirrors that just came in are a different version from the adhesive backed type that we showcase in the OP.

Just to clarify installation and help people understand the what they are getting when they purchase these mirrors, here are some pictures and another installation video of the new mirrors

We have had confirmation from our BRZ clients that these types of mirrors are working with the heated mirror option.

We do not have first hand experience with this, though.

Thanks!

I, honestly, cannot find a single difference in these products.

Cheers!

Mirrors to San Jose, please. The car is a little tough to see around while driving.
