Upgraded Mirrors - LotusTalk

dnovo · 10-21-2009, 04:11 PM

Has anyone taken a wack at upgrading the side mirrors? Great car, but in traffic, a better/larger set of mirrors might be appreciated. Dave

Do a search for "multivex". It's what you are looking for...

Multivex Mirrors

gpheck · 10-21-2009, 05:34 PM

I like the craftsquares.. the price is a bit tough to swallow, but they do help with the blindspots and look much better than stockers

I picked mine up slightly used for $400 but theyre around $550 new.

They are a little rough and unrefined - especially where they attach to the door. It looks like it was an afterthought or that it was taken from some other application and made to work on the lotus. The others available - multivex I believe look like cheap crap plastic. I'm dissapointed and a little suprised that someone hasn't come out with something better than the current offerings.

I have the Raceview mirrors from Sector111, much better than the stock solution.

One of the side benefits of these mirrors is that they eliminate the stock mirror stalks. This actually helps improve forward vision. Plus eliminates some of the visual 'bulk' and lightens the car. We have some tips on raceVIEW mirror install on our Blog. See them: HERE. These are in stock.

Whoa!! I was'nt aware of those bad boys! Wow, they look awesome. I just found my next purchase.
I've got the multivex on right now...there better than stock but I felt the quality of reflection could have been done alot better. It looks like the sample photo shot of the Sector convex mirror has the same good, clean and precise vision as my large trucks do. And they look F1 to boot!

400 bucks is a stretch but my deductable is more.

these toybox48 mirrors look so much better than the raceviews IMO; too bad nobody here can get them with a proper baseplate

Toybox48 stuff is cool. But with the exchange rate right now, it will be pricey! Plus you are right a proper baseplate does not exist.

The best functional mirrors for our cars are the Craftsquare - IMHO. But theyare even more $$$
