Suck'in............you ain't gonna find it.
CF mirrors are ALL manual. Been there done that.
It's not practical anyways to make a lightweight, smaller mirror and motorize it with electric mirrors.
If you go CF you will most likely adjust it ONE time and then it's set. Unless you let other people drive your car......it's a luxury that's not much of a sacrifice to let go.
I'm getting them eventually. APR not Craftsquare.

Have to agree with the clearcoat issue on the Craftsquare. Also the APR mirrors are smaller if I remember.
Mostly because I'm partial to APR. I've bought there products for the last 5 years and got nothing but quality products and customer service.

I don't mean to threadjack... but when converting to a smaller mirror base will I have to worry about paint fade on a spa MY01. The footprint for the stock mirror is bigger than the APR or any other carbon mirror. I guess the only way to be sure is to pull the mirrors off before I order the APR carbon ones. Just curious about others experience.

When you remove the stock mirrors, you'll need to clean the area really well and possibly throw some wax on. I seriously doubt you'll have much trouble. Open your hood; how does the area under the hood compare to the fender?
