I've only got one installed so far, and I can definitely say these mirrors are not photogenic. In other words, they look great in person. Much better than what I'd expected. I thought they were going to look too small, but not at all.

0.2750lbs - APR mirror itself
1.0875lbs - APR mirror + supplied hardware
2.1250lbs - OEM mirror + hardware

1.0375lbs of weight saved per side

Note that I didn't weigh the rubber gasket thing because I left it on the car. You will definitely want to do the same, unless you're 100% certain you'll never drive in the rain. Otherwise you'd definitely get water inside of your door where it would collect.
