Mirrors

The best exterior mirrors for a WRX, STI, S2000, Evo, GT-R, or BRZ are vehicle-specific mirrors, covers, or glass matched to your exact year and model, with the turn-signal cut-out your car needs. Rexpeed and OLM supply most of this collection, followed by APR Performance full carbon mirrors, JDMuscle Tanso covers, and Seibon covers.

This collection covers three different jobs. Full replacement mirrors swap the whole housing, mirror covers sit over or replace the factory cap, and replacement glass changes only what you see, including wide-angle and polarized options elsewhere in the range. They are not interchangeable, so check whether a listing is a mirror, a cover, a lower trim piece, or glass, and whether it suits cars with or without a mirror turn signal.

Rexpeed is the largest name here with 51 listings, spanning forged carbon mirror covers sold as full replacements for 2015 and newer WRX and STI, plus polarized blue mirror glass. Its forged carbon covers for the 2015+ WRX and STI show the pattern: a cover described as a full replacement, named for one application. Rexpeed is the broadest starting point for Subaru mirror styling and glass.

OLM, with 46 listings, adds wide-angle convex mirrors, lower mirror mount covers, and turn-signal indicators for WRX, STI, Crosstrek, Forester, and BRZ applications in the titles. APR Performance, with 25 listings, takes the full-mirror route with its Formula 3 carbon fiber mirrors, listed for cars including the S2000 AP1 and AP2, 2000-2009, plus WRX 2002-2007, Evo 8, 9 and 10, GT-R R35, and a universal version. APR is the choice when you want a smaller replacement mirror rather than a cover.

JDMuscle, with 15 listings, lists its Tanso pre-preg carbon fiber side mirror covers and lower trim covers for 15-21 and 22-26 WRX and STI, with and without turn-signal cut-outs, plus covers for the Nissan Z and GR Corolla. Seibon adds carbon fiber mirror covers for the Nissan GT-R 2009-2010. For the wider carbon range, see Carbon Fiber Side Mirrors, and read Why Carbon Fiber Parts Are the Best Option.

What is the difference between a mirror cover and a full mirror?

A cover changes the cap over the factory housing, while a full mirror such as the APR Formula 3 replaces the housing and glass as a unit. Covers are the simpler styling change; full mirrors change size and shape as well.

Does the turn-signal version matter?

Yes. Several covers here are listed with or without a turn-signal cut-out, and the wrong version will not sit correctly over a signal housing. Check which mirror your trim has before ordering.

Are these mirrors a direct fit?

Application-specific listings are named for a year and model, such as S2000 2000-2009 or WRX 2002-2007, while APR also lists a universal version. Match the listing to your car, and do not assume a cover for one generation fits the next.

Will a carbon cover change visibility?

No. A cover changes the housing finish only, not the glass area or adjustment. If visibility is the goal, look at the wide-angle and polarized glass listings in this collection instead.
