Carbon fiber door pillar & Turning Signal Mirrors

Would there be any interests for Carbon Fiber Door pillars and Turning Signal mirror Covers for 6th Gen? If you are interested, please email me at:

sycefiro@yahoo.com

Or better yet, if any of the 6th Gen owner is coming to Johnson Park meet, email me ahead..so we can meet up and talk about this at Johnson Park meet... Check NE forum for more information for the Johnson Park meet.

Thanks

For me, there really isn't any cosmetic replacement (the grill...maybe) that I would consider (the Maxima, IMHO, should not be "riced" out).

BUT, if there is any sort of functional/performance oriented item that you might come out with, I would certainly take a look at it.

For example, I know they make carbon fiber strut tower braces. PErhaps you could look into suspension components that would help reduce the sprung weight.

I'm also voting on the mirror covers as long as they are tasteful. If they are too obviously aftermarket forget it

To be sure that it will fit the 6th Gen Maxima, I will have to test fit 'em at the meet. Please note, that this is the stick on type of mirror covers with Amber LED.
I am shooting for a pair for this for around U$200 shipped.

The other one (slight more expensive maybe U$245 shipped) will be a full OEM mirror cover replacement and the LED goes across to the side of the mirror and is visible from the rear of the car).

I will update the photos tomorrow.

if going full replacement, will they still be memory mirrors?
while you're at it, is it possible to make them auto-dimming like the 05?

Maybe you can do a core-trade program. Order self-dim/memory turn
signal mirrors for $400. Send your core oems and receive $100 core refund.

As you can see this type of Mirror covers are pretty good and neat looking but only the front of the vehicle can see the signal flashing.
Stick one type:

As you can see that the LED strip wraps around the corner and when the LED is flashing.. the signal is visible from the rear of the vehicle.

The wrap around model would be great if it could just be installed with some 3M adhesive tape and drill a hole in behind it for the wiring harness. Should be less expensive than a fully molded mirror cover.

I have both with me (protype samples) and will test fit 'em this weekend. I will make both available but note the following:

The wrap around type LED lights will be around $245~50 shipped, that replaces the stock mirror back cover and you run the wires to the signal light.

The stick on type will be around $200~shipped, and the LED lights will only be in the back cover (not wrap around).
