Carolina Metal Masters , Mirrors

[Waiting]

I've spent so much money on crappy mirrors. I finally got the Carolina Metal Master mirrors. I love them. Solid as rock at 85 mph. Easy to put on, take off and store. Pricey but worth it, plus I get a phone or camera mount on each side. I kinda wish there was a bit larger flat mirror attachment, but these 5" concave mirrors are just fine.
The height at which they are placed get in way of field of view while driving so, I moved them down to the lower part of the grab handle. The only thing I had to do was flip-flop the driver and passenger side brackets. These are mine on the lower part of the grab handle.

I installed my CMM mirrors this weekend and went nekkid. I have to say that the materials used are solid and sexy and installation is a breeze.

The one and only complaint if you want to call it that, that you hear in regard to the CMM offering, is that the mirrors are to small.

I saw the CMM mirrors at Jeep Beach 2018 and I too felt the mirrors could have been bigger. Regardless, what a terrific offering by CMM.

@ others ...

I was in contact with CMM today. Told them they needed a bigger mirror and for the mirror to come out a tad more.

Their answer was......... thanks for contacting them and they have something in the works in regard to what I said and that it will be revealed next week.

I also gave them the link to this thread..

You won't see CMM posting here... Keep an eye on their website. CMM and I messaged back and forth via Facebook. I think they may be coming up with a larger diameter mirror and maybe a longer stalk. They used the word "cure" in their messages to me so I am thinking there will be a retrofit offering for those already with the CMM mirrors. Time will tell....

Hopefully they notify people who already bought the others, I'm comfortable with the current CMM mirrors, but wouldn't mind seeing how the bigger ones look.

Subscribing.

Are these mirrors convex? I'm wondering if they would be accurately described as mirrors that would have "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" printed on them?

If CMM is watching this thread, how about putting on a group buy? There are clearly a lot of forum participants who would be taken off the fence if a deal was offered. I would be.

They are very convex but CMM indicates all over the place “for trail use only”

What do you mean mean you get a phone or camera mount? You can use these to mount your cellphone?

Yes, look at the CMM offering installed in the pics. See the aluminum colored ball on the CMM. You can attach a cellphone holder, a GPS, a Go Pro Camera, etc. to that ball. Found on driver and passenger sides.

There are two 1" ball mounts. You can see the bright aluminum one in the pictures. There is another one, behind the mirror, at the end of the bar holding the mirror. RamMount, GoPro, and other companies make device mounting solutions that attach to standard mounting points; one of those being a 1" ball mount. They attach by a clamping system that fits the ball. There are other types of standard mounting systems, 1" ball, 2" ball, 2" hitch, Molle, the specific threading used for camera tripods

@ Everyone.... 8-)

CMM is offering a 6" stanchion. IF you already have the CMM mirrors and want the 6" stancions, they are offering an "exchange". You have to pay $10 plus shipping.
