JDM mirrors

I was just wondering if anyone has a pair of the side view mirrors that you see on japanese RX7's? The ones that sit way up on the hood. I just always thought they were cool looking. Thanks guys.

i want some. there is a demand for them. yet for some reason no one can get them. i messaged a guy on this board who lived in japan. he was going to get me some prices for them from a local junk yard. but some how we lost tuch and i cant get a hold of him.

if any one lives in japan and can get them froma junk yard im sure you can make a nice amount of $$ selling stuff like this.

You can install several styles of mirrors up on your fenders (not the hood) if you want that Japanese "Savanna" style. These were pretty popular with british cars in the 60s and 70s. You can buy knock offs pretty cheap.
