Just testing the water to see if anybody might be interested in some carbon mirrors for the GTR in a very similar design to the oe ones.
These mirrors will be pre-preg propper carbon not the wet lay up version.


I am also finishing a design for the canam wing mounted mirrors aswell.

Any comments will be welcome.

pee, I know you are a drag race fan, do you think the addition of your CF wing mirrors will help me cover the 440yrds more quickly than the factory?

You are quite right Phil, we are lucky to have you here.

I'll post some pictures when I get a bit further with them. A set of drag radials always helps with a 1/4 mile Wayne...

At the moment I am looking into how much interest I get so I can decide to make just a set for myself or make the moulding tools so I can get a few more done.

Wayne, you wont need to fit CF mirrors or lighten the car - you will be the absolute winner if you are aiming to match or beat the 9.9 second factory time over 404 feet! If the bet is open to all, I will even beat the factory 9.9 before you!

No, actually I meant 440 yrds but the excitement seems to have got the better of me.

No wonder Wayne (the builder) can afford the GTW, he builds everything 1/3rd scale..

It's a vicious rumour I tell you and who said I can afford the GTW?

Watch this space. I'll let you all know when I have got some sorted. As for price form what I have seen they are not going to be as expensive as they should be.
