Rexpeed now has a heated version. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55227

I installed them this weekend, took about 5 minutes, and they work great ... very expanded viewing area, and heater worked as before.

When they say 'objects may be closer than they appear' though, they're not kidding. It looks like cars warp past me.

I like that option, but I assume they're not heated?

Thanks for the images, so the bigger part of the mirror is flat [1:1] and the edge is convex?

I'm interested in purchasing them when you do decide to create a heated mirror option. "Local" as well

Going to reiterate my question. Also feel free to let me know when they become heated.

@BRZkitty any updates on the install?? I was thinking about getting the speedlines but was wondering if the turn signals were distracting in the mirrors.

I just installed it last week. It is a huge pain to run the wires through your door and dash but I really like the LED turn signals. Yea it can be a little distracting at first but you get use to it. I mainly bought the mirrors for the heated mirror option the limited comes with. If you dont care for the LEDS, then the rexpeed ones are great. If you want to see it in person, I usually go to the southbay and dublin meet unless Im working.
