Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior APR Carbon Fiber Mirrors

Here are a few pics. More detail pics coming soon. SIR Isaac is also working on a detail install guide with a lot of pics.

whoa, Congratulations Tony that looks AWESOME!

looks good

i like it!

they look like they haven grown up yet ... baby mirrors.

Looks good though

looks good, but too small for street driving, isnt it?

but objects may appear smaller than they actually are

"whoah" (as keanu aka "neo" would say). 1 part of the gt300 package, hmmm? many people in norcal stated the mirrors weren't for them but seeing it on an actual privately owned car looks cool.

There so cute, make sure you give them plenty of milk so they can grow up big and strong

The mirrors are courtesy of APR. We are doing a review and install guide for them.

It does take a little getting used to, but I can drive with them just fine.

The mirrors do look small compared to stock. But, they give the car that "neo-classic" look.

you luck SOB, you got them free!!!!

Nice

i like them, but they'd prolly look betta if they were a lil bigger

Why not get the APR carbon fiber spoiler too super dope.

i got them with my kit, and i put them on yesterday, i agree it takes a while to get used to because they are small and both mirrors make objects smaller than they are, unlike the stock ones that just make the right side smaller, but they do look sweet, the install was easy.

looks awesome!

i like them a lot tony
how much do they go for?

They remind me of hipoppotomus ears.. lol.. But they are different and unique, which is good..

APR Formula 3 Carbon Fiber Mirrors are designed for optimum performance, most widely used mirror on formula race cars. Feature a left to right pivot at the mirror housing with an adjustable ball stub rod to allow a very wide range of adjustment. These carbon fiber mirrors are compact aerodynamic shaped with a very low drag coefficient. Billet aluminum mounting bases are specifically designed to factory specifications for easy installation. The mirrors are only available in carbon fiber with convex lens.

Honestly? I don't like them. They don't look like they belong on a Celica; just way out of proportion against the rest of the car, in my opinion.

im with this guy they look funny! I can't imagine they are for anything but looks, they cannot be for wind-reduction.. seems just as useful as a single windshield wiper conversion!

Yea, I'm not a very big fan of them either. But if you like it, then awesome. I like the rest of your ride. That black stripe flows well with the car.

bit too small for me but all that matters is that you like it (they look good upclose)

Anyway... those are super pimp

I think they look too small...

Plus, I need a power mirror because I have to back into this little tiny space at work and there is a 2 foot drop behind, and I need to tilt down both side to look back sinceI don't want to drive my car off the edge and f*ck it up.

they look pretty cool but i think it would look better if you had everything else carbon fiber like the hood, wing, and some interior stuff just to compliment the mirrors but overall they are pretty pimp.

I agree that they would look a lot better if the rest of the car had other carbon fiber parts to compliment the mirrors. I saw this celica parked on my street...carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber wing, a bunch of carbon fiber interior parts, and the carbon fiber mirrors. and it looked niiiiiiiiice...however, I do also have a problem with the fact that they're so small and also that they aren't power. I just don't think it's worth it, even if it does look tight, give weight reduction and better for aerodynamics...just what I think, but if you like it, then it's all gravy.

looks good I wouldnt put them on my ride because they are too small to look into.

these are phat as hell and i have some on the way..: )

i think there cool but too small 4 me anyways
