anyone else love APR GT3 Mirrors ????
 

I know I do :) and it will be one of the first mods on my FRS or BRZ. Yes it may sound crazy and yes it may be weird, but i love them, and think they look fantastic, especially on the frs/brz. 1. they will save you a good 20-40lbs, 2. they look amazing 3. carbon fiber adds 10hp 4. i personally feel like they end up providing more field of view with the Wide Angle Convex Mirror Lenses 5. they reduce drag? lol no matter what they DO... I love the love and will enjoy them on my ride......anyone else? Also anyone have any pics of any 86/frs/brz with APR mirrors?


Looking badass on the gazoo rally car

20-40lbs? You must expect the mirrors to be really heavy.

just speaking in rough numbers but as you can see im not really in it for the performance benefits as i just love the mirrors lol :thumbup:

I like the way those mirrors look but I just like the all around touring car appearance on the picture you posted.:thumbsup:

Forget the mirrors, I want those front quarter-window vents.

If you wanna go rough number, replacing those mirrors only gonna save you 5~10 lbs max.

Anyways, yes those mirrors looks nice

good eye I want those as well!!!! hmmm i need to find these!

how could i forget the TRD N1 86!!!!

I'm guessing they would save more like 3-5 pounds for both. Btw I'm guessing the Gazoo 86 is using craftsquare mirrors. Craftsquare are popular within Japan and usually have those triangular shaped insides

yupp those are for sure craft square :) they have that little pointy tip showing thats craft square mirrors :D

One thing I like about old German touring cars is that the factory race cars typically used the same or very similar mirrors as the road car. Since those are my automotive routes, I've just never understood changing mirrors. The racers didn't see a reason to change them, so why should I? Which makes me wonder, what benefit are they getting out of these mirrors? Wider view?

Little bit less drag/weight. Big teams can afford it easily. The cost for the mirrors is probably cheaper then what they need to pay all there employees for 10 minutes

Yeah, definitely CS mirrors.

Don't mess with the APR ones, I had the unfortunate experience of having to drive a car with them and they're junk. The mount is incredibly cheap in the design and the top bolt constantly comes loose so the mirror can move (or fall off) and the manner in which they actually mount to the car is very ditsy.

in a tube like the FRS you really want bigger side mirrors

while these look awesome i think they might hinder your awareness on the streets.
