i was just wondering if anyone has ever done this on this side of the pacific ocean? ive seen it a lot on re amemiya cars and was just wondering if anyone had any pics or info on the subject. i would think that they do this mod for high speed drivin when u cant look away from the road. would it eliminate a blind spot or just make a bigger one? and yes i did a search but there was like 2 threads and not too many responses, some dated back to '02.

 

I've never seen an FD here in the US w/ it... although I think if you do it right, you could get away w/ it looking pretty good. I like how it looks on the old school first gens

PS: If you decide to get the mirrors, hit me up...I can get 'em for ya

 

i see lots of people reading this thread and yet only Ramy has answered (only cause hes tryin to make a sale.lol) does everyone hate this look? or has no one done it/ have any info?

P.S. just kiddin Ramy

 

Alot of the old school imports do it.. 1.8 corollas, 510 datsuns etc..

 

I ordered it, just waiting for it to come and will post pics....I am old school, hence why I like them...they ar not cheap though ouch...lol...

Hey Ramy any luck with the bowtech generators...

 

I keep checking on this thread to see if anyone in the US has a pic of their car with the RE mirrors.

I Love when side mirrors are on the fenders!
I am the function over form type.
Besides...Old school rules!

Not mine V



Uber hawt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

how much did they cost and do they come with a plate to go over the hole that the stock mirrors leave. I have jason(CFinovasion) trying to come up with a CF plate to cover the hole that the stock mirror leave so i can fit my APR GT3 mirrors on but i've always liked the fender mounted mirrors a lot better so i might go this route.

 

Holy crap, that FD is from the Mid Night race group in Japan. I've heard that those guys are no joke and regularly pull very high speed runs on the Wangan there. The groups made up of only high powered cars and count a few exotics in their group as well.

 

i love em!!! always have

 

there was a guy who mounted his stock side mirrors onto his fenders IIRC...

I need Majik's amazing search ability to find it though...

 

you mean this pic, it just does not look right...too big...

 

Oh c'mon LOL...I'm one of the few hardcore JDM junkies on the forum. Few have spent as much as I have on rare JDM parts. Most of those parts are just on the downlow until my FD's finished...

So yea...for me, getting these parts is more about helping other JDM junkies get the parts they desire so badly...I know, cuz I'm like that myself

The plot thickens... haha. I'm getting more and more info about your car Kai haha. I wonder who's gonna finish their FD first?! Mine's got a solid 6 months from now...

Molds are being made as we speak.

Thanks

cool, Ramy..let me know when they are done and make sure to save a set for me....as far as the car being done it all depends on RE Amemiya.....hint...lol....

 

when they first came out i really disliked them, but they've definitely grown on me. Although i still can't say that i would buy a set...unless i were to buy the dry carbon version, but i don't think I would ever fork out $1300+ for a set of mirrors. I wonder if these fender mounted mirrors can be electronically adjusted from the cockpit.

 

$1300 that cant be right can it???? thats a bit steep for mirrors. the stock ones look like *** on the fender. as do chrome wheels too gangsta fo me.lol
bin pimpin since pimpins bin pimpin

 

its actually possible to do it yourself...if youre very careful. a friend of mine did it with his 85 GSL-SE with the power mirrors and actually once they were right where he wanted them he molded them to the fenders. it looks nice and sleek. just dont have ne pics

 

I will...don't worry.

I'm VERY interested now haha. PMed ya btw

I think it really depends on the overall look of the car. A heavily modified FD (exterior-wise) can prob pull it off and look good doing it. Anything short of that will look pretty bad

I feel you. Do it once, do it right. And YES guys, he's right about that price.

Honestly, given the price, and the fact that the teeny weeny mirrors are about as expensive as their CF GT spoilers, I think they MUST be electronically adjustable...or have some other secret to 'em. That price hike is simply too much - even for RE - for it simply to be due to the CF material.
