Same here. I wanted CF mirrors but not super tiny T-rex arms so I just went with OEM CF shell to match my downforce side splitters.

I think APR/the ebay ones look like trash.

That said I have craftsquare on my car and wouldn't ever go back to stock.

Typical S2Ki fashion, the most expensive is seen as the "best" those look identical to the APR ones lol

No they don't.

Bases and the mirrors themselves look quite different. I've seen an NFR AP1 with APR mirrors parked next to my own.

They're bad.

It's all personal preference imo. I love my MRacing mirrors, I have always thought the OEM mirror housings look bulky on the S. Of course, it will have less visibility than OEM mirrors, especially if you have convex mirrors installed.

You're blind if you think APR mirrors and Craftsquare are exactly the same

Craftsquare mirrors are far superior in quality and viewing angle than the APR mirrors.

i’ve had both and the APR’s are a step back from OEM in viewing angle and visibility.
