Default Carbon Fiber Mirrors.....

I was just wondering if all of these mirrors (APR etc...) are still power? IE: do they work with the factory power switch in the drivers door?

Thanks,

John

Nope. You lose the power adjustment.

You have to adjust it manually... but if you think about it.. once you adjust it, you won't have to touch it again unless you get your car washed and they move it. Don't tell me were getting that lazy

To each his own.

They're not too tough to adjust. The first time is the toughest since you have to get all the parts lined up right and then tighten the bolts.

I actually find that they're easier to see out of since both sides are convex. Despite their small size, they offer great viewing area. I just put my OEM mirrors back on my car and I can't get used to it. It looks like it has giant ears.

After installing these, I would never go back to the stock mirrors. Too damn large. The CraftSquare mirrors are incredible light...about the same as a pack of cigarettes. I'll brush off the assinine "rice" comments if it means saving weight from those relatively heavy mirrors. You'll know what I mean if you're holding one in the left hand and the CS in the other. On a more whimsical note, since I'm a huge F1 fan, I dig the CraftSquare vibe...it makes me feel as one with Juan Pablo and Jenson.
