JDM experts please help me identify this fc aero mirror

I have a set...they look exactly like the ones on the small picture. They're supposed to be "Trans-Sport" or "R-Magic" mirrors...; )

Some eBay sellers actually label them as R.E. Amemiya units...

i know what you mean, they look like the old school r magic mirrors. but the mirrors in the pic are actually the "yours sports" mirrors

Wow, that kinda sucks...

I can't confirm this, but some of the eBay sellers are claiming those mirrors can also fit AE86's (and something else - S13's?).
Supposedly the bolt pattern is very close for all the cars, so they might be just a "universal" set?

the bolt pattern is different form a FC

Can you take a pic of the mirrors on the car from side on. The only think i could think of is that they might be installed wrong or not for the fc at all.

I have 3 sets of jdm mirrors (Re-amemiya, ganador & stock folders) and all have fit perfectly.

well they might be old, so fiberglass might have the tendecy to sag...

i might use longer screw to make it sit more flush

what i care about this is the make of these mirrors, who in the he!! made them?!

JDM companies copy and re-badge products all the time... so unless you have a sticker or signature on the mirror you may be wondering forever.
Looking at them they could be Re-amemiya or as said before yours or Rmagic.

Any reason you want to know so bad. If you like them, who cares who they were made by.
knowing the company won't make them any better

i wish these mirrors were badged!

a guy in another forum said they might be made by a company called "Top Run", but never heard of them before.

it has been bothering me to know what company makes these mirrors

plus i can tell plp the make of these mirrors if they ask
