I'm very tempted to buy those but I only wanted to see if anyone had fitment issue. Ok then I'll be the guinea pig and order those, I'll let you know how it went.

If anyone can give som feedback it would be appreciate, I'm going to wait few hours and order those this pm.

Thanks for any kind of input.

Cheers

They look nice and priced right. Make sure you take pics of the install and how you wired it. Dont forget the night shots.

I guess that's the only way to know, but that will take some time before I can take a night shots since the car is being rebuild at this time, I'm hoping to have the car back on the road in early may. See my threads for more info: http://forums.maxima.org/all-motor/5...n-project.html

I'm guessing they're not heated... The LED color choice is also poor IMHO. White and orange would be better.

My car no longer see winter, it's dodo in the garage, so no need for heated feature but I'll def. upgrade the lighting.

With shipping the mirror cost me 100$, so if quality is so so then that will make a nice decoration in the garage

M3 mirrors = FAIL.

I just think they look way out of place. If you're looking for LED's on the mirror, aren't there cefiro power-fold mirrors with LED's around?

I meant like from the front, to see how the mirrors look. You can't really tell from that angle.

Just received the M3 Mirror, I think they dont look bad at all, the mirror doesn't make any deformation but beside the fact that there not made of carbon fiber, I think for the price it's fair enough. If they fade I will just paint them Sterling Mist.
