So I've been wanting to get these Vision mirrors from JHP ($290)...

and I saw these sportbike mirrors from http://www.lockhartphillipsusa.com

CHICANE MIRRORS $99.95 in real carbon


Formula Race $59.95


Qualifier Mirror $29.95 in "carbon look"


F-1 Mirror $29.95 in "carbon look"


The only question is where to get those plates that cover the spot where the stock mirror is mounted. I'm sure you could make your own but...

Anyway just thought I'd throw this out there to show people a lower-priced alternative

 

Decreased visibility. Nice!

 

ahaha a bike mirror for a car.

 

APR (I know) also makes some theres are $260...




BTW anyone know what kind of lip that is? Never seen it before...

 

You can't be serious? God, no function to this mod and they're ugly to boot.

 

Fugly

 

Just so you guys are clear I'm not really interested in your opinion of their appearance. The point of this post was more like "Hey the Vision ones are $290 but you can buy the same thing for $30".

Only DV is allowed to talk **** in this thread. Where u at yo?I'm curious what u think about these. I have mixed feelings. I do like the spoon mirrors a lot and thats what I currently have, but everyone has those now and these are kinda different.

 

you shouldnt have posted it then , they arnt the same mirrors , have you ever thought that the mirrorglass its self might be different smart guy????

"oh the carbon fiber is the same they must be the 100% exact same."

 

i think the swoopy ones look pretty sexy, and i'm hoping theres convex mirrors to compensate.

 

i never understood why people like these mirrors..... no function and fugly

but if youre set on getting them, i wouldnt go the cheap route and get "fake/knockoff/look-a-like" ones. get the real deal, who knows, they might have a little more visibility than the others.

he only has one, hahaha.

 

it's funny how everyone hates on it but then says how clean this car is





anywho I've got some of the phillips f/s never used in full carbon with the 2 bolt option another 20 bux if your interested, Im going with different versions since the mirrors sit low on the Sol

those plates can easily be made from acryllic, abs or by cutting off your stockers and fiberglassing over them like performance factories race cars.

 

its a sick *** car , but i think those mirrors are hideous

 

those vision ones are high quality pieces
my friend has them and if they would of had them when I bought my spoon mirrors, I would of taken those

 

im not into any of those

 

they are really only for race cars except

 

those mirrors on the S2k flow better than on a hatch IMO..

I never meant that they were exactly the same, obviously the Lockhart Phillips mirrors aren't "Hella JDM yo" so maybe the tiiiiiite bois won't holla atchu, but I was just saying they look basically the same so you can get the same look for cheaper.

Of course if you put on Lockhart Phillips and then tell someone they are vision, you will instantly be struck down by the almighty god of unjockable JDM credibility yo

you just prooved my quote , your not even taking into acount the fact that the vision out of those mirrors might be ****.....pretty ricey picking something just for looks right?

 

Sorry I guess I should have mentioned how I got this idea - my buddy has the L-P chicane mirrors on his CBR929RR. They are nice the weave looks good up close and they are perfectly functional you can see just fine.

And as far as ricey, well, I have been in a car with vision mirrors and they are definately not any more functional than stock (as far as viewing area) and might be a little less but not much. So unless they provide an aerodynamic advantage, then its all just for looks right?

Lockhart-Phillips is a reputable company in the sportbike industry and I'm sure that the other mirrors I showed are just as functional as the chicanes on my friends bike.
