hi brian. i bought a set of the top ones, but went cheap and got the plastic version instead. they are super light!!!! beware though. they were $90 compared to $150 for the c/f. i should have just spent the extra $60, bu toh well.
read the measurements. these are VERY small mirrors. i bought convex for both sides also since i have a chop and can't see squat anyway. quality was a 8.5 out of 10. the only real problem i had was the set screw on the back of the mounting bracket does not sit all the way in on either. the ball on the stem won't sit far enough inside the mount to allow the screw to button down. i will solve it by cutting a gasket for it between the bracket and the body. here is a pic of what it might look like on a car. not sure i have the scale right though. it wil be at least jan. before i get my car back from paint to mount them on. but will take pics then.

I bought a set of the top ones when I was looking at mirrors, they were far too small to be useful to me, so got sent back and replaced with a set of vitaloni's
The carbon looked nice, but the mirrors were far too small. Still looking into creating some moulds so I can create myself a set of carbon fibre vitaloni's Cya, Sam C

I unscrewed the stock mounting bits, and screwed (self tappers) these over where they were, works really well!
