Put the APR mirrors on the car...

6-30-2010

I should post about my thoughts on these mirrors..

Quality I give 7.5 out of 10. Functionality and Visibility, I give 6 out of 10. Install, I give 9 out of 10.. except adjusting them 3 out of 10. Its quite difficult to adjust as I have to get out of the car and such. Also, once its tighten down, its quite hard to move them and when you tighten them down, you could move the adjusted mirror and have to re adjust. 

The driver's side mirror where initially would move with one finger after tightening it down. After examining the mirror, found out that the top bolt on the mirror housing was bit too long. Because of it, it wasnt going to hold the mirror in place. I had to grind down about 1/8 inch and helped out quite a bit. But overall, Not sure how well its going to hold up in a long run. But for me I bought this thing to try it out and see how it looks. Also, it will be garaged and not left outside. 

i might still go back to stock or with Ganador mirrors in the long run..

Shoot... 

I just searched through the DGRRX pictures and realized about Papsmagu's craftsquare mirrors..

Damn, those are pretty nice! I wished I had realized it when I was up there

It was a beautiful day today and took the car out to meet up with some classic car guys for donut and coffee... Afterwards, I took some updated pics with the new mirrors.. I actually like this mirror a LOT!! I thought it would be bit too small for the car but I think its just a right size. 

Issues... At about 110MPH, I could see the mirror started to vibrate. I've tighten down the driver side but it vibrated bit more than my liking... I'm going to try to figure some way to tighten down the mirror bit more.

And my interior with Prosport gauges and their center speaker pod.

I am trying to get the car to look very similar to this B-Spec RX7... with some rare Mazda/Mazdaspeed parts inside and out... I'm getting pretty close to getting all the parts I need.. Now just getting off my *** and put some of these parts in... including some unique stuff in the engine bay (I'll post details to it later... but I been planning it for about 6 months) which will also include all mazda stuff
