Thumbs up GANADOR MIRRORS: Blue Tint, Convex, Replacement Lenses

I was in need of a pair of replacement lenses for my Ganador mirrors, so I contracted an OE Manufacturer of Automotive mirrors to replicate them. After going through the design process with them, I realized this could be a valuable part to share with the community and not just keep to myself.

We all know how poor the visibility is from the Ganadors, being that they are aimed for RHD vehicles and the surface area of the mirrors are undersized. This was another issue I wanted to improve. These new mirror lenses are both CONVEX on the left and right side for the widest possible viewing angle. This should help add back in the much needed visibility. It won't be perfect, but it will be as good as it gets for LHD adaptations.

Specifications:
  • Direct Copies that fit ALL Ganador Mirrors
  • CNC Precision Cut
  • Seamed Edges
  • Convex / Wide Angle
  • Blue Tinted

They are also Blue Tinted, which is the more expensive option.

Whether or not you're trying to add back in more angle with the convexity, these lenses will be a worthwhile replacement if your Ganadors did not originally come blue tinted.

This will also be a LIMITED run, so if you just want to stock up on a spare set, now is the time.

After going through the design phase, I received the first sample set of the lenses, which is what the production run will look like.





These lenses were traced off the backing plates.





Thickness:



It's hard to show the amount of curvature in the convexity in pictures:



I am about to push through a small production run of these lenses in pairs with the manufacturer. I need to know how many people are interested to get an idea of how big the run should be.

If you want a set, I am accepting Prepayments now.

They will be $110 Shipped for a pair.
