New Stuff ! Cf Mirrors Etc. Thanks Lucent

I Came to Lucent a couple of Fridays ago.. i came to visit and ended up getting these....




CARBON FIBER MIRRORS..

THE QUALITY is phenomenal ... this is as close to oem as possible i comapred it to arling's oem cf side mirrors on his gt3 and couldnt tell the difference..

ill stop blabbing here are the pics..







look at the quality of the weave virtually no blemish or anything looks great

the resin is perfect smooth as butter...

no pot marks, bumps or anything..

this is actually my 2nd set of cf mirrors.. i bought a set from another company and it was horrible... it had pot marks, uneven resin./clearcoat scratches etc.. im not an **** guy but it was horrible.. had to return it.. it cost me close around 850.00 for that horrible set ..


this one i like alot.. cost a bit more but no core exchange

contatc arling he got a few in stock i think , cf mirrors look great



it wasnt just cf mirror day, i also finally installed my aluminum gauge rings ... thanks tom

and i finally upped the hp on my car

Thanks again to the boys at lucent ....

No, they are very simple as long as you have the correct torx head screw driver,popout glass by hand, three screws per mirror,unplug power, lift housing off, insert CF housing,install thee screws, plug power in,snap glass in place. Done.
Takes about 15 minutes if you take your time.

Looks great Joe!!!

How do you pop the mirror off? Do you just pry it with a screw driver or have to lift it a little?

Looks nice, not ricey at all. Hope they'll last a while. Might want to wax them to for sun protection to avoid resin breakdown over time.
