<<Those are the same mirrors I have. I got them on EBAY (Japan). I think they're called "tran-sport."

two types of FC areo mirriors from RE.. those are neither of them. the glass is too long to be the type I and the type II are a totally different shape.

They could be any nubmer of different models or a knock off, only the car owner would actually know.

This thread should be locked.

The reality is that there are several different manufacturers of this particular design, and all of them look similar.

We are just arguing in circles trying to figure out the exact manufacturer, when only the owner of the car would (might?) know.

I'm just surprised the knock-off shops haven't copied these things, as they are very simple to replicate.
