GR86 GRBLUE86's

Very clever, but I'm wondering "why"?
I want to be more 'seen' by others when signalling and I rather not rely solely on the blind spot light, the wide angle eliminates the blind spot
I don't think it will be a popular mod though but I am happy with it

Looks good, but personally I’d find that more distracting than anything else.
Don't think it will be my case though, already have another car with signals in the mirror (well in the mirror cover but I can see the light blinking) and doesn't bother me. If it is distracting to others then it just mean that it did its purpose of alerting them

It took me a few days, way harder (for me) than expected, still need to tidy up cables

Remember seeing these on a few cars in the US in the mid 90s, Cadillacs and big SUVs I remember they did look pretty cool. Not sure if they were OE but lots of car had them.

Wow carbon prop shaft! May i ask whats the make/model of the shaft? I had been monitoring Driveshaft Shop but they never had one listed for the new gen.

It is the gt86 one Jianlun. It is from the driveshaft shop, I got it a couple of years ago but just installed it now. After buying it on a whim I was not sure I would ever install it as I read some horror stories about them breaking or causing lots of vibration as well as not making a significant performance improvement but I had to try it as I will never get that money back
 
A lightweight flywheel and prop shaft must increase the engine response a fair bit. Is it still comfortable to drive in traffic though? I guess the revs drop off more easily.
