Carbon Fiber (CF) AC Schnitzer Mirrors

[E30Idea]

Received last payment for GB today. Will be shipping out the last set and rounding out
the group buy. Gentlemen, I would like to thank everyone for a smooth process. Hope
future GB's will be this straight forward.

So when ( if ever ) will these be available for those of us who did not get in on the group buy?

Prices will be up slightly as the fabricator would be making one at a time rather
than a batch.

Not an issue for me. PM me a price and I will check the paypal account to be sure I can cover it. I do want to wait for pictures of a few on some cars and I want to be sure the "glass issue" (if any) gets figured out first before I pull the trigger, otherwise I am stoked for some more CF.

So i got them mounted up today. I have to say the fit and overall quality is pretty darn good. I'm very happy with how they look, the finish, etc. However, i do have a small gripe.... I noticed a small imperfection in the glass in the upper right corner of the driver's side mirror. Its really not that big a deal, but it distorts the reflection a bit in that spot. Then however, i noticed that on the passenger side mirror (which has no imperfections on the glass) the reflection seems very skewed. I dont know how to explain it, but its kinda like i was using one of those plastic mirrors... not as bad but def. noticable that it shouldnt be like that. Head on the glass reflection is fine, which makes me believe that at the angle these things are viewed from the driver's side really skews things. That, combined with the small blemish on the driver's makes me think that these things arent real glass.

To be honest, i like the way these look on the car enough to deal with it i guess. But for 400 bucks i think the glass should be of better quality. Anyone else mount these up, and have the same experience? Could i get some info from the builder on the kind of glass used?

Dont get me wrong... these things are pretty perfect in all other aspects, and i like them a lot... its just that glass... haha.

Ok so i gave myself a week or so riding around on these, and i would like to take what i said back. I dont know if i just wasnt used to the smaller size of the mirror, or if it was the rain and fog that day that did it... but either way i've been thinking to myself lately that the reflection in that right mirror really isnt skewed.

The dimple on the driver mirror in the upper right corner is still there... i'm not that out there, haha. But like anything i'm sure its a fluke and clearly no one else had this issue, so that is something i'll take to the PM with Chutrain. I'll be taking some pics of the car this weekend and post some pics of the mirrors for you guys. These things really are great, and i hope the builder can make us some more stuff with such great fitment. Sorry if i gave some people some hesitation about these... i'm sure others who got these will chime in once they install them.

Dave, let me see if I can have the fabricator ship a replacement for the
driver side. I know that little imperfection would bother me as well. I will
get back to you soon.

i installed my mirrors over the weekend, and the pass side lined up nice, but the drivers side is pretty far off. best i can get it is about 5mm back from flush with the window trim... any install tips? also, im scared to tighten the bolts too much since they are just held in by resin. i just tighened them till i started to hear a lil cracking then stopped. they still werent tight tight though.

can you post pics of the gap that your talking about? i have not had a chance to install my set, and would hate to have some issues with them. pics please.

standby for pics Yan, my e30 is in storage mode getting ready for Bfest. i will try and snap some pics this week.

[chutrain]

Snap pics so I can forward them to the fabricator. If it means getting you a replacement, then I'll get it done for you. As you guys know, these are hand made pieces, so there is always a chance of human error.
