Order one last week..I'll receive it this week..I'll post some pic after that..it's the ganador aero mirror??

 

I too like these. Interested to hear some reviews as well.

 

I wanted to note that Charlie has ORIGINAL ganador's. i didn't realize that you were inquiring about replicas.

thanks for the replys. i just wanted to know if the nrg's were powered mirrors like the ganadors.

 

it's the ganador replicas.

 

I have some but they are not nrg or ganadors they are a british company but they look just like the ganador and nrg

all 3 are made for right hand drive though

 

Are the one you have powered like the ganadors?

 

I have them on my red FD they look fantastic but are no good when it comes to functionality it is difficult to actually see whats behind you... i am not saying they are no good just they it will take a while for you to get used to them personally i like the OEM side mirrors... they offer the best rear visibility... easier to carve up traffic with OEM

cheerz


PS. not sure if they are NRG or Ganadors

 

just found out that nrg does not make this anymore so only option is to get the authentic ganadors.

 

A few years ago I tried out the NRG "Ganador style" FD3S mirrors, since they looked the same and were cheaper than the real Ganadors. They don't fit.

That was the short answer; Here's the long one:

First off, the mirrors have only two screw thread holes at their base consisting of metal anchors poorly grafted into the thin layer of fiberglass. There is no a-pillar support provision. With this design, a reasonably able-bodied person can easily rip the mirror off the door and spend 10 minutes repairing the fiberglass undersides. So I figured I'd add an additional a-pillar support bolt - a set-back, but let's move on.

Second, and more importantly, the FD3S "Ganador style" NRG mirrors seriously don't fit the FD3S. The base is not even close to fitting the door contour, or the belt-line moulding, and it doesn't fit flush against the a-pillar. The mirrors aren't even symmetrical; Each one doesn't fit in its own different way. And even if they did, any movement of the mirrors would result in serious scratches all over the mounting areas due to the NRGs' rough fiberglass bases.

So I masked off the doors and surrounding areas in prep for fitment work. I figured I'll just massage them with some sanding and some fiberglass and a little bondo, then some more sanding, then painting, maybe some more sanding, then I'll need to integrate rubber gaskets to help fit against the door and one more each side for the a-pillar, in addition to creating a reliable a-pillar support bolt, all while working within the limitations of the thin fiberglass undersides.

Disappointed in how terribly these were made, I got rid of them. Lesson learned, and shared.

Making them look cosmetically natural is only the beginning, and it still would have required extensive internal bracing and reconstructive surgery to make them structurally reliable. $400 at a body shop can get these to sit flush on the doors, but that still doesn't address the lack of durability should anyone happen to bump into them and knock them off the car.

The NRG "Ganador style" mirrors look good in your favorite online ricer retailer pic, but in reality they're trash.

 

Agree^^^I actually have the NRG ganador style mirror on my car and this are pain in the butt to sit flush so instead of using the bolts that came with it i end up just using a double side tape. Now anybody wanna trade for APR mirror?? hahhaha

 

Thanks for feedbacks. Now that I read this, I'm glad these aren't made.

 

My replicas made in the uk are good quality and have blue glass. They mount through the triangles and door.

Here is a picture of them

 

for some reason your looks a little different

 

they mount high unlike the flush mount door, instead of being flush to the mirror hole there is a plate that covers it

I got them for like 120 shipped to the us from here

thanks for the help and all but i have to go with either the original ganadors(i like the look how that is mounted on the car) or craft square.
