Default Side mirrors too big anyone?
Anyone (beside me) think that the side mirrors are way too dumbo ear looking? I think a smaller sized mirror would be great, guess I'm just too used to the C-west/Craftsquare type mirror on my old S2k.
What do u guys/gals think?

i also thought they were big at first.... but we have big rear ends so it works out good in the long run. Plus i forgot who but someone here has smaller cf mirrors and it just looks to weird.... to small for the big IS body.

Too small will look goofy imo, a tab smaller and with a better shape would be great. IMO, it looks like the car will fly if it flaps fast enough... lol

i think you're thinking of badx33; he's got signal auto carbon fiber side mirrors on his 2is.

Something smaller but round would be nice... Here's how the C-Wing looked on my S2k...

Don't like em as big as they are. Sport and speed should mean small mirrors, not oversized. The '09's+ are better.
Actually, I wish they were attached to the pillar and not the body. The way it is now, it reminds me of glued on Pep Boys add-on mirrors of the 80's. Ferrari does side mirrors best

I wouldn't mind raiding the LF-A's parts bin for a pair of side mirrors*, but I've gotten used to the current ones on the IS.
