Default Carbon Fiber Racing mirrors?

Has any put this, or the like, on their tC? I had these on my Civic and loved them. Just wondering what they would look like on the tC.

They have always been referred to as that, most likely because of the cars in racing that do use them.

Nah, the TCSportline product is real, but you are right it takes away the signal and electronic controls.

I like 'em but your car would have to be pretty modified to pull it off.

most people will think you got in some type of accident and had your mirrors broken off, and bought cheap replacements lol

If they didn't have the plate on top of the plate, they would look better. Kind of like the drift car how its just one flat piece

Does it look like a big wolf with super small ears now? By the way, I took this pic at Formula D this past weekend. That car is SOOOOO much sexier in person than it is in pics (even though I like it in pics too). In person though, it just BAD ****!

That's because the drift car is running the APR Carbon fiber mirros, which is what I'm going to be running. And a Carbon fiber base plate cut to size. I'm going to be running these mirrors and base plate on my tC. They are a bit more expensive than the TCS ones though.

Wow, that looks familiar... I took this pic at Formula D at Road Atlanta. The car is awesome(including the mirrors). I just hope they can get it running right.
