Unless you have some huge monkey paw I could tell you because I've never seen such a small mirror for an FC. Are you sure they would bolt up and cover the stock location?

I am positive it came from an Fc. I got them off of a wrecked car at RS Panteras the other day. And yes I do have huge monkey paws so they may be a little larger than they appear hahaha.

I tell you what though, they are cool as hell. I'd rock the **** out of them. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for them?

They look like R.E. Amemiya side mirrors to me.
R.E.A. made like several different versions.

I thought they were RE Amemiya too but from what I could recall they aren't that small. But I would say that they defiantly do look like them though.

Yeah, there's two different version of these "stubby" mirrors.

More popular is the one with the "crease" in it...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-M...41183363QQrdZ1
I think these are the ones.

The ones above are not as popular, but I swear they come from R.E.A.

The other ones that look similar are the Aero Palace ones with the two piece housing.
The housing is also soft and flex.
They used to be for sale all over the place, but I haven't seen a set recently.

Your driver side mirror will be their passenger side, and vice versa; so the sizing of images will be all backwards, no?

Either way, slick lookin' find.
