Rexspeed mirrors on GBS BRZ?

Does anyone have pictures of this combination? I've looked around and can't find anything. I've seen some pictures of them with a WRB BRZ and they look about the same color so I'm curious if it will look odd with a GBS BRZ.

Thanks.

Do you mean the tinted blue ones? I don't have them but I was thinking about getting a pair myself, especially now that they include the heating element. In such a low car, I'm always getting glare from headlights behind me.

Yep, I'm in the same boat. Just not sure if the blues will clash.

Yeah. I do think the mirrors should have been auto dimming on this car. I'm not trying to say it needs all sorts of fancy features but it would have been appreciated considering how low the car sits, lol. Oh well.

Benefit of the doubt; they just never noticed it as a problem in real-world testing. Very few lifted redneck trucks out in Japan, lol

I have them on mine. Love them. They look great. I would never go back to the stock mirrors.

I also have them on my GBS BRZ and am absolutely thrilled. Even with the relatively light (50%) tint I have I didn't feel the need for the glare reduction. Perhaps it's because I don't drive it too often at night. I really just wanted the crazy wide visibility and these have delivered! One of the best changes I've made to the car.

Anyway, I'll get some pics Saturday.

Here are a few pictures I took. Any angle in particular you're interested in seeing?
