It may be the same weight as the stock one...I don't think the weight matter as such a small item on the car.

 

Looks great ChampionsYamaha!, glad I placed an order...
and yes, they will match my carbon mirrors well. hahaha. :P

 

Yeah the install is kinda hard trying to figur out where to drill your car. Jenkins came up with a good idea of cutting a slot and the moving the vent to get a better fit. Thanks Jenkins

 

hey the pic with the circle grill... what is that behind it? does it actually lead to the engine bay? or is it my imagination?

 

bong.... what carbon fiber mirrors are you talking about!

 

We ended up slotting the holes quite a bit to get it to sit in just the way we wanted. I grabbed some bigger washer from the shop. The tough part is working with the inner fender pulled away, but not completely removed. My wrist look all sliced up.

I saw some carbon "look" mirrors on Vivid's site that have the look of the orginal Mazda Speed prototype's mirros (hole through the middle). A search on Froogle shows many others with them but they are all about $500. I guess if I just paid 180 for these little guys $500 for electric mirros is justified ... maybe.

 

the one on vivids site are cf look? man i thought they were real cf..

 

yeah. mine are the CF look ones from vivid. I think it was $500 something back then :O
But I just used the $500 mazda gave us for that mirror. :P

 

any pics? do they blend well with the vents? my cf look switches i got are so budget looking lol... HOOKUPSHOP MAKE REAL CF MIRRORS !!! or mirror covers that change the shape ro give more curves to our mirrors.. i personaly dont like the shape...look like funny ears ahaha

 

dam..i want in on these but have to save up for something else.. =( priorities first...but i will get these for sure.. =)

 

I havent received the fender grilles yet, but heres a pic of my mirror.

?? how come I cant attach images?

 

they do look really nice, i just wish you could but the strakes on them also

 

I added my name to the list. Gonna make the call later on today :D Btw does it include installation instructions?

 

They are lighter then stock by an ounce or two I would guess. Not much but you can feel a difference.

I didn't see any instructions but it isn't that hard. Undo the screw and buttons that hold the front inner fender on. Peel it back to reach back behind the grill. The stock grill has 3 rectangular tabs along both of the outside edges that you squeeze to push the grill out. Then you will see the two metal cross members that run across the grill cut-out where you will drill a slotted hole where the pre-mounted studs on the new grills will go through. Then thread the washer and nut on the back and tighten up. Put the fender back in and your done.

 

The strakes will fit on these CF grills, I have tried it and it bolted up fine. Here' s the image....excuse the masking tape. I was taping the grill to prep it ready for JB weld.

 

install them on a car and post a pic...then I'm sold

 

you didn't see the earlier pics??? or you want pics of them with strakes on the car?

 

kinda off topic but what wheel size and offset do you have on the rx8, oh btw im a new hybrid member ; )

 

explain hybrid member????

 

add me to the list. PAYPAL sent.

 

what is seen through these vents? is that the engine bay area or am i seeing things?

 

Behind the circle mesh grill is main frame or side wheel well. You don't see any engine parts. The picture had a glare from the sun when the photo was taken, therefore you see white spots or so.... don't believe me, try removing your plastic fender grill and you will see inside your fender. Something mysterious lived inside.
