S1 HNK Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 well they arrived today from taiwan or all places. the carbon weave is alot bigger than my nismo b pillars but i actually prefer this look than the smaller weave. (shame it doesnt all match) right the bit everyone wants to know...do they fit? well....i ordered the mirror post covers too which are basically just carbon triangles, the annoying thing is these have to be trimmed at the top because there is a small section at the top of the oem mirror post which is raised up slightly from the rest of the panel. ive trimmed them but havent made a great job of it so the finish on the top isnt too hot. the mirror covers fit suprisingly well despite alot of negative reports. to be honest i think if you have a light colour car then they wouldnt look as good because it would be easy to see where the covers stop if you see what i mean. anyway heres a few pics so see what you think. didnt have time to do some proper shots or clean my car but i think they look great. cheers guys, Si Quote
Chris`I Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Look good mate! Are these the Delsa ones? Any chance you can take a pic side on so we can see the edge? When I saw them at the last Reading meet they looked ok on a GM Zed. Would help me make my mind up if I want them. Quote
lomoto Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I always thought these would look a bit naff, but seeing them on your car they look really good Quote

Would help me make my mind up if I want them. they are from delsa, yes mate. i will take some better pics tomorrow and send them to you. aslong as the edge is stuck down the fit is very good. im not sure if to take over the post covers though, dont want it to look over the top and the mirrors did look really good on their own.

shire350Z Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 iv bought the triangles but unsure about the wing mirrors think ill wait till donny see if i spot any on a GM Quote
bigphil Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 we have the carbon mirror covers and carbon sill covers arriving in the next few days, will work out prices tommorow. Quote
GIXXERUK Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 iv bought the triangles but unsure about the wing mirrors think ill wait till donny see if i spot any on a GM 3fiddyz has some on his Gm Quote
Rob_Quads Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 They look really good. Ant pics from the other side to show what the edges look like. How much were they delivered Quote
S1 HNK Posted March 26, 2008 Author Posted March 26, 2008 yeah ill take some more, just had to rush out so couldnt do it properly. i think they were about £80 delivered. that was for the mirror post covers too. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 This is what they look like on a blade if your interested! Match the Nismo sides quite well, these are from Delsea Motorsports.... As are the carbon side emblem covers.. Bit of a carbon theme going on... Have fitted a RSW carbon dash but not taken pics yet! Quote
bronzee Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Not normally a big CF fan, but those are . Any chance you can take a pic side on so we can see the edge? + 1 Quote
sl114 Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I actually like that, however i think it needs to be balanced on a GM car or other to have more carbon, be that a front lip, b-pillars, rear spoiler etc... Quote
M13KYF Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 looks good but not convinced about the triangle section. The delsa pillar bit looks better Quote
rmmackfc Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 They only would suit black I thought. However the GM suits them too, tinted windows??? may help though Quote
IanS Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Look good Si, nice choice - will have to get up North to compare the motors in the metal Quote
H5 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Looking good Si. Mark, get pictures up of this dash..... Quote
JDM Performance Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Got these fitted to our project Z. Not the same brand, ours are Carbign Craft (which is actually APR Performance in USA): http://www.jdmperformance.co.uk/item_de ... =444002386 Look good IMHO on our blue car, but I did paint the wing mirror housing black before fitting the covers to give a better overall effect. Carbign ones come with the blue lenses for the mirrors too. Cheers Chris Quote
jables Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I'm toying with the idea of some of these on an Azure to compliment a carbon Varis lip and Nismo carbon B-pillars. Chris, have you got any pics of these on your Project Z? Cheers Chris Quote
Stew Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I would like to see carbon covers for the base plate. Complete base plate that is! They would look nice on my car! Quote
