[jokerman]

Sorry , I just thought someone might have some installed or has ever seen an eclipse with them on. But I will post on tommorow. Hide the shot guns.

 

[Airpoppoff]

[jokerman]

here is paicture of the mirror. I will also post some pics in my profile of the car.

 

[Airpoppoff]

SO? Are they POWER or MANUAL!!!!!

 

[cucumber]

Carbon Fiber look...bah...

 

[jokerman]

they are manual. I everything in it is manual. all the mototrs and everything just adds weight. every little counts.

 

[JohnWH]

I'd paint them the same color as your car. IMO, the cf look doesn't go well with your color.

 

[X|Crescens]

I wouldn't paint them the same color as your car... Look at the color of your car! I would paint them and the whole car something else.

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

Yeah, I would paint them also. That carbon fiber look....well looks cheap.

 

[JJay]

They look good IMO with your car. Leave them Carbon Fiber.

 

[jokerman]

Well Im not painting the car. I happent to like the color. I like how it looks and that is all that really matters.

It is called lite lavender by house of color. It is a white base coat with a 3 to 1 mix of white and lavender.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that all M3 mirrors are manual. I read somewhere on line how this guy converted his to power though. You have to rip apart your factory power mirrors, and then install motors and wiring of each one into the oposite M3 mirror. Something about how the motor won't fit in correctly doing a basic swap. I'll see if I can find it if your interested.

 

[jokerman]

well they do make power ones but they cost upward of $250.00

I like the mirrors, but I do have a question. How did your car stay so clean, i'm just getting this from the obvious slush in the background of the pic.

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

they are koo.. but sacraficing my power mirrors is something i really dont think is worth it.. as for weight.. a few lbs isnt gonna do a difference.. if you can retain the power mirrors then those would be phat.. of course in matching color as the car and not cf style or some isht.. just my .02

 

[MitsuReaper]

well, I can supply input to this thread now

UPS just delivered my m3 mirrors today.

I got the black housings, not carbon fiber (uck)

They seem to be ok quality. unfortunetly I got the LED ones. The price was right though. I figured I could just paint over the lense or something. Or possibly change the LEDs inside from blue to orange for blinekrs.

anyway. teh black housing looks ALOT better.

these are are not power though.

i dont see needing power mirrors.. you adjust them once, and that is it. they are not like power windows where you use them constently.

these do seem to adjust very smoothly though. over all.. im happy with them. not bad for 50 bux shipped.
