These APR GT2 AeroMirrors replace them with CFD-developed, patented carbon fiber mirrors: a low-drag airfoil stalk, a compact housing, and controlled vortex management that genuinely reduces drag while cutting weight. They bring a real aero advantage and a race-derived look, and they're offered for the FL5 Type R and DE5 Integra Type S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePick Your Chassis And Drive Side\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree versions, so select the one that matches your car.

That let them iterate the design digitally and optimize it for aero rather than guessing, and it demonstrates the mirrors actually reduce drag as intended rather than just looking like they should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey're also a \u003cstrong\u003epatented design\u003c\/strong\u003e (US D1,110,912 S), which speaks to the engineering being genuinely original rather than a copy of someone else's shape. This is a developed aero component that happens to be a mirror, not a mirror with a carbon shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere The Drag Reduction Comes From\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral design elements work together, and it's worth understanding them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAirfoil stalk.\u003c\/strong\u003e The stalk uses an airfoil profile inspired by APR's adjustable wings, thin and shaped to reduce separation and vortex shedding rather than the blunt factory arm that just creates turbulence. The smooth transition between the stalk and the mirror head cuts interference drag where the two meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact, sharp-edged housing.\u003c\/strong\u003e The housing is shaped to minimize frontal area while keeping the visibility you need, and its sharper edges further reduce turbulence. Less cross-sectional area in the airflow means less drag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControlled vortices.\u003c\/strong\u003e Anything moving through air leaves a wake, you can't eliminate it. Instead of the messy, turbulent wake a typical mirror throws off, these intentionally create \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled vortices\u003c\/strong\u003e that guide air smoothly along the side of the car. That cleaner wake reduces turbulence around the side windows and A-pillar, which improves the airflow everything downstream of the mirror has to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Real-World Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat that engineering actually gets you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLess drag\u003c\/strong\u003e means the car holds higher speeds with less power, and a \u003cstrong\u003ehigher straight-line top speed\u003c\/strong\u003e, which matters where fractions of a second count. Less drag also means \u003cstrong\u003ebetter fuel efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e, useful for longer stints and fewer stops in endurance use. And the controlled airflow improves \u003cstrong\u003eaero stability\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving more confidence and control at speed and in corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNone of these is dramatic on its own, mirrors are a small part of a car's total drag, but they're real, measured improvements from a part you were going to have on the car anyway. Free aero, essentially, from replacing a component that was already there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLighter, Too\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeight matters everywhere on a track car, and these save it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFull pre-preg carbon fiber construction brings each complete mirror down to \u003cstrong\u003e1 to 1.5 lb per side\u003c\/strong\u003e. That's weight off the car, and being out on the door, it's weight in a spot that affects the car's feel. Shaving mass improves acceleration, braking, and handling, and reduces wear, and these do it while adding function rather than costing anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBetter Lenses, Not Just Better Housings\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass is upgraded too, which affects how usable they are day to day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lenses are \u003cstrong\u003efully adjustable convex\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you can set them to your preference, and the convex shape gives a \u003cstrong\u003ewider field of view\u003c\/strong\u003e than the standard flat lenses. They're also \u003cstrong\u003eanti-glare blue tinted\u003c\/strong\u003e, which cuts the glare of headlights and sun behind you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo these aren't a track-only compromise that hurts visibility, they actually see better than the factory mirrors while doing the aero work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2024-2026 Acura Integra Type S (DE5), LHD only — APR-GT-940002L\u003cbr\u003e2023-2026 Honda Civic Type R (FL5), LHD — APR-GT-930002L\u003cbr\u003e2023-2026 Honda Civic Type R (FL5), RHD — APR-GT-930002R\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSelect your chassis and drive side at checkout.
