Nismo Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers

Hey, do they make these for the Max? Also do you guys think this would be a hot item if they did? I think they look good, what do you guys think?

Yeah, $149 is a bit pricey, but I bet someone here in the states could make them cheaper..what about the whole mirror..that'd be even better

If they were $75 shipped and still made out of real CF, they could be hot sellers. I wouldn't buy them though, I think the carbon-fiber style is outdated. And let's face it, it's a style - only 5% of cars with carbon-fiber on them truely have it for weight loss. Because we all know there is easy 2x that weight you can remove from the car itself granted you a light-weight racecar.

I see what you are saying, and you probably are right that they are made in the US..I didn't bother to look at the other items.

I do agree that the stickers suck...and the cf altezzas I thought looked good. I would have gone with the red/clears, but paying almost $200 for two pieces seemed outrageous to me and that was the best price I could find at the time...this was approx. 2 years ago btw

I think they would be sweet as H#ll if they didnt have the nismo logo on them. Just good ol' plain CF.

well since u all like em, answer me this... they are just covers, why? why get them? unless you have a cf hood, quarter pannels or trunk to match the cf (you best have a black car too ) why would u buy them? It just adds weight
