Wide angle mirrors with turn signals
It took me a few days, way harder (for me) than expected, still need to tidy up cables

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
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

Where from? Apart from the weight saving I take it they are an improvement over stock? There are GR ones but are mental money.

How long did it take to come? Few bits I want from there but postage is costly, at over a third of the cost of the items.
About 3 weeks. Sometimes 4 to pay import duties and clear customs
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.

Not much, it is lighter by about 4 kg. I also now have more diff noise making into the cabin after changing the trans mount and the prop shaft. Sounds quite racy inside and I still have the full oem exhaust system
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
