I think it's just personal taste. No matter how quality it is, I wouldn't be caught dead with a set of those mirrors. No doubt it cost a lot because of material and fabrication.

LOL - nice one
My comment was merely based on aesthetics. I'm guessing you're saying these should be very attractive based on the tens of thousands I've spent modding cars over the years? The longer you're "in the car scene" the nicer they look?

Craft Square

Look at their home page. They make Motorsports parts. I'd say they're decently priced. Never owned a set myself, but they seem like great quality.

I'd rather spend $600+ on a pair of well crafted carbon mirrors from a company that actually makes them for motorsport than a company like PasswordJDM selling a $900 carbon intake that has no motorsport or R&D background and was "inspired" by JDM intakes.

To each their own. There are many different price levels for many different parts, each with their own customer demographic.

I bought a JDM left side mirror and love it. Convex, good optics (unlike a knockoff I tried and had to return) and no "Objects are closer than they appear" warning. (Passenger side for Japanese cars)
Rainx keeps makes it hydrophobic.
