Ganador RX7 Mirrors
Hello!
I have been searching for Ganador side mirrors for over an year but wasn't able to find a pair for a decent price till yet. I'm getting one pair soon for myself and was wondering if I make replicas of the side mirrors would people buy them? Ganador side mirrors are the most demanded aftermarket mirrors for the RX7, original ones on JP auctions are selling over $1200 now and the price keeps increasing.
I have been making replica parts in both frp and aluminium since quite a time and I'm pretty sure I can do a decent job with the mirrors.
I have couple of ideas on how to make the mirrors but need your advice on what would you prefer the mirrors to be like...
The mirrors will be manually controlled for sure unless someone can find what ganador uses for the mirror.
At this moment I have no idea on the price but It will be less than half what real ganadors are being sold for now.
If you have any suggestions or questions do let me know.
Thanks,
Fahad

- Full Aluminium Side Mirrors
- Full FRP Side Mirror
- Aluminium base and FRP outer piece
- Aluminium base and Plastic outer piece

At one point Final Form USA produced a batch of mirror glass that had the angle fixed for LHD cars.:

Might pay to ask them if they are willing to do another batch......

The base I will be only making in Silver or Aluminium as they will be stronger than the FRP or Carbon ones.
I'm still not sure what to make the outer pieces with. (Options with those are Silver or Aluminium, FRP and Plastic) (Or it could depend on what the buyer wants)
Currently I'm trying to figure out if I can somehow make them Electric too. I have bought few electric mirrors from different cars and working out what can fit inside the mirror.
What exactly is the problem? Does the mirror glass not turn enough to provide a good view?
The auctions you are looking at have few days remaining on them, keep updated with the auction especially in the last hour and see the price they go for... I followed few auctions trying to buy a pair but all the ones I saw sold for over 100k Yen.

I'm not sure what the problem with the LHD cars are, from what I read you can perfectly see from the driver side mirror but viewing problems with the passenger ones?

And yea, they definitely have gone up in price over the past year or so, but there are always the "junk" ones that most people aren't willing to fix that still go for 50-70k range =P.

Update:
The mirror bases are ready to be test fitted on the doors before I start taking orders for them. The only hold up on them was being caused because I was having hard time finding doors, by the end of the month I should have two samples ready. (Electric and Manual)
The mirror bases will be made of silver and the mirror housing depends what the customer wants I have two options for them FRP or Carbon.
I'll also be making Carbon Covers like FEED does for the outer housing which can be used with the original ganadors too!

At this moment I can't give out a price as I still have not calculated how much it would cost per pair. All I can say they won't be cheap but would try to keep the price lower then real Ganadors. I'll be offering many different options so the buyer can get a pair according to his budget. Just few more weeks before I have few pairs ready in different options so I can show it and set a price.
