mirror has a nice blueish tint, also the housing/shell looks different (i want to say it's more streamlined as well)

ya thats right on...the only reason i got them is someone took my mirror off at a bar when my car was parked. found the pair on ebay for 80 bucks shipped and painted in SSM so i went for it. downside is now i have no heat or power on the mirrors due to the clips not matching up.

also im running Hayame coilovers. actually bought the car with them. as for how low its dropped....i dont know, theres no gap and the fender is about an inch and a half to 2 inches past the tire. SLAMMED!

looks hot.

the other advantage with the mirrors is that it is designed better than the 99-01. it makes less wind noise.

You ride looks great !!! I love the drop and how clean the lines are. I could never roll that low. The first time I pulled out of my driveway the lip and bumper would be laying in the street, not to mention the wonderful Ohio roads. Nice

Im a Slamm fanatic myself, to me its never too low, i mean i have my car on teins all the way down, and with the ww kit. And people ask me how i drive. But seriously man how do u drive that thing. Is the roads THAT good. Anyway The car Looks great man.
