j-spec mirrors

Does anyone know where I can find the j-spec mirrors. You know the ones that are the fenders.

If anybody already has some, where did you get them, and how hard they to fit on ours?

not really. i would just wander a junkyard until you saw a set that caught your fancy. no need to rush as this is one of those fun projects rather then the car is falling apart projects.

I have some... they're on my Savanna .

The mirrors where oem in Japan. They are on all late 70's RX-7's in Japan (Savanna's). They are similar (but not identical) to the US power mirrors on FB's. They work really well too! You can check what's around you through the windsheild instead of looking through the side window.

As far as finding some... good luck. Your only source is Mazda... they might be able to special order some from Japan if they still have them available. They are obviously all powered, so you'd have to wire them off of the original power mirrors.

Oh, and one last thing... once you get used to the look of them... they look sweeeeet! Look much better in person than in pics.
