OLM WIDE MIRRORS (HEATED) -polarized (blue)
 
Did anyone install the OLM mirrors from Speedfactory?

Convex and polarized - don't know how blue will look on my WR Blue!

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.
Looks nice actually.

If it is your car, do you mind as Asking for a few mor pictures. I think it looks too bright due to the angle.

Thanks

I went with the Rexspeed polarized blue heated ones. They were quite a bit cheaper. I found the polarized feature to be a little dark (based on Pacific North West weather) and with the convex, a LOT different than stock. If I was going to get the OLM, I would go with the non polarized ones.

just my $0.02

Thanks a lot! I was not aware of these non polarize regular color heated mirrors. In addition they have the turn signals! I think the instructions were a little messed up (for someone who does not do these regularly). I am pretty sure it’s straight forward for the turn signals if you know the location and how to wire them. I wish they explained it a little simpler.

Now I am curious how the signals look like. Why does ftspeedfactory not put a picture or video how the turns look like. Is it worth or not!

Thanks again

Installed my basic rexspeed mirrors a few years ago. Great mod imo, the convex wide angle gives me confidence since I can see so much past the blindspots.



I added LED Turn signal arrows to them and got some compliments at my autocross event asking if I tinted my mirrors blue since they look great.

In addition, how does the heater work? I have a base FRS, is it still plug and play? Was going to buy these pretty soon.

Product description says it retains the BRZ heated mirrors. For DIY you have to splice and run wires.

gah, blue is such a good color on these cars... the clear/white and red with the taillights and the blue paint is such a good combo

I may order the Helix, no writing or lines. Probably made in the same Chinese factory as the Rexspeed and the OLM, and cheaper.

Also available from Walmart for the same price, sales tax in CA only. https://www.walmart.com/ip/HELIX-For...LASS/568372596

I decided not to get them. Don't think blue on red would look good. Just need to adjust my sides properly. Lots of guides on how to. https://www.google.com/search?q=how+...hrome&ie=UTF-8
