A couple of places carry them but I got mine from FTspeedfactory as mentioned. I've been ordering a couple of things from fteightysix recently with great results so far.

I went with the Rexspeed convex wide angle ones. My favorite mod I have on my car as it eliminates A LOT of blind spots. If you aren't used to convex mirrors like me, it kind of messes with your head when you look at them compared to the rearview mirror but it'll go away after a week or two.

Also, I opened up my mirrors and put the white LED indicator arrows in them. I don't need the defroster since I live in FL so I got the ones without them to save money.

BTW, for what reasons people put in mirrors with turn indicators? There is audible signal, light on dash. Due mirror angle/limited brightness to not blind driver they are probably not too noticeable to other car drivers to brag about. Aren't indicators there slightly obstructing view there, especially if driving in night? I understand why one may need wide angle ones to eliminate blind spots, but hard to imagine what is objectively enhanced by such mirrors as these.

Warning re any polarized mirror - the convex feature is great, but if you've tinted your windows, it will combine with the colored mirror to make it difficult to see clearly at night.

For that reason, I'm dumping these ones and getting the clear convex with the heat and signal light option, only because clear with no signal light option is not available as far as I could determine. I will not be hooking up the signal light, and just have to hope that the arrows in the glass are minimally visible. I've had them on order for a month, and Subiespeed says another month yet.

Cuz they look coool. My brother put some sequential ones in his mirrors. Plus gives it that "premium" look too. I have tons of turn signals. My smoked side markers, mirrors, headlights (after market have them built in) and the stock FR-S ones, plus the rear tails.

My LED arrow ones are pretty bright. Drove my brother and nephew when I first put them in and they said oh wow that's pretty cool. Even more so when I mentioned I put them in myself.

I have no problem driving with them even at night. Though, based on my experience I've drove/riden with mirrors smaller (Motorcycle, and more recently my brother's G35 coupe) so these mirrors on the FRS are huge and great to me.

I've had no issues with mine. I have the dealership tint and the blue hue polarized mirror. I originally wanted the clear convex but the polarized was the only ones around/cheaper I believe. You can split the mirror apart and take the internals out if it really bothers you. That's how I put arrows in mine since I ordered the mirrors only with no mounting bracket.

Overall, the polarized grew on me and I haven't seen any other car (twin or not) with them around my area.
