ok so I've purchased a set TWICE now and both times I got scammed/never received item and had to do chargebacks, here is what they look like.
Is there a place where I can buy these and actually get the friggin item ?

You realize it's not real carbon fiber, right?

vr4much

No I don't but it does not matter as long as I don't have to repaint them to match my car color, I need these cause I can't put the stock mirrors on it.

I find it hard to have sympathy for somebody who wants to complain about getting "scammed" while trying to buy knock-off items. If you want the fancy carbon fibre Ganador style LEDs then don't be a cheapskate, buy the real thing.

These aren't honda civics, it's not okay to throw fake mirrors with fake carbon fiber on them. Why can't you put the stock mirrors on? Why can't you repaint them to match your car?

WTF ? $800 for a set of mirrors ? I can get a fd landed in canada for 4k I'm not cheap, but that's ridiculous. Yes I do realize it's not a honda, but I'm just looking for an easy way out, my F1 mirrors were stolen on the boat so I just need a quick/easy replacement

I can't keep the car, have too many cars, look below to see why I can't put stock mirrors, the mirrors in this pic were stolen on the boat.

Looks like you should take the issue up with the claims department then, that and/or threaten legal action against the company if they do not provide you either A) the same mirrors, or B) the sum of money those mirrors would cost to purchase new.


Oh, and how smart do you think it was to import a car which you knew you would not be able to keep b/c of lack of space???

You don't know how things work when shipping a car from Japan to Canada

I know what I'm doing, my cars come and go.

I import from Japan and sell here in Canada as a side hobby, I was never planning on keeping it.

Oh, and stay on topic if you can't give any useful info don't give any

Well it seems you know everything about everything. Funny that I've shipped my entire household from one continent to another (including vehicles) before, and I'm about to do it again. What you're saying is that your country (apparently) holds no accountability for businesses that exist solely to import automobiles. I don't believe that to be true, and I'm *willing* to bet that it's not. I think you're just too lazy to pursue the claim. If you can't be bothered to care enough to take a blatant example of theft to court than I can't really give a **** about your plight.


You've received two bits of useful information from me, the first being where you can find Carbon Fiber LED mirrors (which was your original question), and the second was a legitimate solution to your problem (which is replacing the mirrors, or recouping your losses for the lost mirrors). You're apparently too ******* cheap to follow either of my suggestions, so instead of (essentially) telling me to **** off why don't you head off to your little corner and stick with importing M4D TyTe JDM (y0) Civics, and leave the RX-7 community.

Fair enough, I just got irked when I tried to help him with suggestions on where to get (genuine) parts, and how to recoup his losses, and he essentially told me to **** off because he didn't like my suggestions.

Maybe I just need to get laid or something

ummm.....

the link you posted isn't for carbon fiber mirrors...

that link is for "a Carbon style finish" mirrors - the same thing he is look at on ebay...'

they don't even look like carbon fiber!



these, on the other hand, do appear to be actual carbon fiber:

Those are just carbon fiber mirror covers, you'll still need to pick up an actual set of mirrors in addition to those.

theorie

iTrader: (31)

yes, definitely. i was just trying to point out that the mirrors aren't even real carbon fiber.

theorie

iTrader: (31)

you could always buy these, then get the real carbon fiber covers:

Again, if you don't know, it's better not to say anything that way you sound much smarter... There is a way, but that's not the point of this topic, this topic is not about my plight you retard, it's about getting replacement mirrors.

You did help me, by giving me covers for $800+, but where are the mirrors ?? Good Job !

It's not being cheap, it's being smart, if you want to spend $800+ to reduce the car wight by <5pounds go a head, and make sure you tell everyone that you paid $800 to lower your car weight by 5 pounds.

The Ganador mirrors linked to are not covers. I have the ones pictured in post #7 of the following thread...

Good luck in your search.

The first mirrors that theorie linked to aren't covers, but they're not real carbon fiber either. The second link he posted is to a set of carbon fiber covers for the ganador mirrors, if you click on the link it not only says "covers" in the header but also in the first sentence of the description, "You are viewing a Brand New set of `Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers` designed specifically for the Ganador Aeromirrors by FEED (Fujita Engineering)/AFFLUX."

At the moment, it looks like rhdjapan.com doesn't carry the real carbon fiber ganador mirrors.

Makes sense. I finally caught on that they were covers...

Ganador's website...

I was initally focusing on the OPs request for (LED) mirrors in the Ganador style (even though he didn't realize that was what his knock-offs were copying). So I really just focused on the LED effect (hence the price) as opposed to cheapest bang for the buck. If the kid had specified more wrt what he was looking for than I could/would have delivered a wider choice of options.

Yup, the FEED ones are just that, covers for the standard Ganador mirrors.

The OP seems to be some sort of ricer, and really doesn't look to give a **** since he's trying to buy "carbon fiber" pieces from e-bay from the cheapest source.

Thank you. The ones I originally linked are the complete set (mirrors, LED turn signal, wiring, and carbon fiber "look").

You made this about your missing mirrors when you cried about them being "stolen" on the way over. You're admitting that you *can* get compensated for the stolen parts, however you don't feel like doing the work. STFU!

Follow the link, read the page, don't be a ****.

"z0mg guyz!!! I r trying 2 by fake prts @ e-bay but r not getting product! hlp plz????"

That's what I read in your first post (and, apparently, I wasn't the only one).

Sorry, is this meant to be impressive?

Yet you'd import FDs worth $4000?
Those cars are bound to be cheap fucked on trash.

Easiest line is "you pay for quality"

Face it you're Cheap. Just open up the wallet and get some decent mirrors.


PS: I'd recommend Container shipping your next imports. Then fill up the car with parts.
RORO you're gonna get robbed. . . cheapest shipping but not worth it

I guess my question to the op is who do you plan on selling the car to since you only paid 4k for it? Is it just a matter of getting the car, patching it together the easiest and also cheapest way to maximize your profit when you turn around and sell it to an 16-22 year old kid?
To quote a line from Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything wrong with that" since that's what since in some ways your helping yourself (profit) and also some kid that wanted an FD as well. My hesitation like many on here is the fact that most of us love the FD and hate to see them devalued like a honda that is riced out and with anything a person cares about, they'll tend to be defensive if they thing someone else is making it look bad.

Now about the mirrors - Do you want an aftermarket set or what about stock to replace it? I'm sure Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda could get you some at a great price for oem stuff.
