madkaw Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Installed some Vitalonies today-see what you think. The mirrors are bigger and more "in your face" attitude, but I like them. They are very useful as mirrors, not like my californias I had they before. Better quality then anything I have had before. lot's of adjustement, and I believe they will stay in adjustment all the time. Mirrors are taller , so line of sight is eye level with the driver.

Six_Shooter Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Not feeling those mirrors. I like them as a concept, they just don't suit the S30 IMO. Car looks great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Appreciate the opinion. I know they aren't as 'graceful' as the california's. I might still try a pair of the baby turbos. For now, i'm going to let them grow on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndyAndTheSea Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Hows the visability? I don't mind the look one bit, but what's it like when you try to look behind you? I know my bullet mirror is pretty much worthless, unless you want to look at the rear tire haha. Or you stick your head out the window Edited March 10, 2013 by OldAndyAndTheSea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 The view is outstanding- especially the drivers side. The rectanglular shape makes for a wide angle on stuff behind you. They stick out almost 2" further than the Californias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnum44 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I personally love them....I had them on my other 280z's I had years back. they make what they called the "baby toronados" and the big tornados, I had both at some point in time years back . the ticket is to color match the mirrow to the car...and just leave the black 1.5 inch around it in black...trust me they look sharp.. and one other thing they come with a blue "tint" on the mirrow itself....they where very ahead of their time back in the early 80's when I had them....

madkaw Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 These would be difficult to paint since very little is paintable . You have a large rubber boot and a logo to contend with. Updated review: still very happy with these. Passenger side started to move around a little but it was just the Allen bolt loose on the stem assembly. Tightened up and no other issues.
