Update?

Bump for an update....

Car will be going into paint in the near future, and would love to be able to have these on it before it gets to the body shop.

And no, I am not going to paint the mirrors! I just want them in place, so there are no issues later...

I am thinking about purchasing a set of the led mirrors even though the GB is closed. I have heard that due to the fact that they are manufactured for a right hand drive application, the mirrors are not able to be positioned to the correct angle so that the driver can get the proper rearward view. Any truth to that? Also, what is the dimension of the mirror itself (The glass portion inside the housing). Thanks guys.

Anyone in Florida installing a set of these? I would like to see them first hand before I buy some from Ramy

James, the mirrors can be electronically positioned in a variety of positions, so it doesn't matter whether your vehicle is LHD or RHD. MANY of us have used JDM RHD mirrors on our LHD vehicles. I think whoever told you that is thinking too hard

As for the order, I'm told they have already shipped to me, so I'm just awaiting their arrival

Thanks!

This is half true, i have ganador mirrors, I can see fine out of the driver side mirror but the passenger side mirror is completely useless no matter how I adjust it. Maybe this is different on the LED models?

Hey guys,

Mirrors are here. I'm trying to find boxes to fit 'em and box 'em up, and once we got that I can ship 'em out to ya.

Also, BlueRex will be posting up payment info for the remaining balance shortly, which will consist of:
- International shipping cost (Japan to US)
- Domestic shipping cost (me to you)
- A minor fee to balance out the HUGE drop in the currency exchange rate that we suffered from, between the time we quoted you prices and the time we made the purchase.

Thanks for your understanding,
~Ramy

Andy_K, your shipping quote is $78.00

If it's cheaper than calculated we can issue a partial refund.

I'm pretty sure everyone who has paid has had their mirrors ship out (including you international guys) except one person, and his will be going out within the next 24 - 36 hrs.

BlueRex will be by to update you guys w/ more specific info shortly.

Thanks,
~Ramy
