i'm thinking about getting aftermarket side mirrors and i don't know if it works good...
i heard that the japanese ones have different mirror depth. like we need our left side to be odd side, but they are the opposite..
i saw some ebay ones, cheap but don't know if it will look right.. they don't have installed pictures..
anyone have any experience with any side mirrors?

yes it will make my car go faster than yours if i have badass side mirrors so lets not go there..

I used to have the Bomex Type1 mirrors. Looked great, couldn't see shit behind me unless the object was attached to the car. That's my experience.

cant really see so hot
but i only drive the car to and from the track 2-3 times a month
i dont daily it anymore.

so i dont care

but it can be adjusted to work fine. i know a few guys who use them daily and they dont have any complaints
i usually turn my head to look anyways. so to me its not biggie.

I also have ganadors.
I wired them up because they are power mirrors.
I can see fine out of them, but also have broadway rear view mirror and do lots of looking behind to switch lanes.

i use bomex...can't see a lot..but you still can see something...but what ever..juss use those little bicycle mirrors that stick on to your mirrors..that will help you out..but looks kinda funky..but it allows you to see more.

Wouldn't it possible to get a mirror cut in the same shape and put that in there? I mean, I don think it would be something out of the capacity of a mirror/glass shop. Just throwing that one out there....

Ive got a set of harley motorcycle mirrors mounted on a cf triangle to fit where the mirror goes, they dont have great vision, but they looked cool when the rest of the car is complete, (i.e. kitted, slammed, boosted, painted, and some big ass wheels...) but thats why they arent on my car, b/c im keeping a RELATIVELY stock exterior.

chmercer
06-13-2006, 12:28 AM
i have the ebay ones that look like the ones all the japanese cars are using now, i think they are the "origin style", the kind with the big triangle turn signal thing.

i can see enough, the blue tinted glass is nice also. they are power but im too dumb to wire them and i never adjust them anyway so they are manual right now haha.

also i have a broadway rearview so i dont really use the side mirrors, also my seat is pretty big so i always check behind me before changing lanes.

its no problem to daily drive

Nengun is a big company and the prices are right below it, how could you miss them?? thats my account on the site so it's only going to show for a 91 hatch and skyline, if you have a s14 or any other car, then you might want to sighn in and list what cars you have so prices pop up for what ever you have.

i have the 2nd ones on my s14, i debated getting the first ones (that is what pretty much every TAS car had on it) but i liked the GPSports style signals in the 2nd ones best.

i have the amber leds hooked into my turn signals

also if somone figures out how to wire the power mirror motor let me know

don't buy that crap! I have a set and uninstalled them the same day I put them on. Horrible angles on the frames don't really allow for a clear view of what's on the side of you especially from the passenger mirror. For show or track duties sure, but definitely not for daily driving.

also, even if you were to find a convex mirror that will fix the angles necessary for a clear view, the actual frames and mechanism won't allow it to bend far enough to be useful for a LHD car.

They suck for viewing becuase they are "JDM" in other words point the wrong way. I also havent wired them yet but my friends going to do it for me. They fit fine but the holes for my bolts werent tapped.

they arent gonna be as easy to see out of as stock but you gotta make sacrifices for burning hot style

just get a broadway mirror, you wont want to use anything else

ebay's carbon fiber "look" ones are stickers and not very good stickers... you can even see the quality on their pictures.
i would go for solid black.
man, now i gotta decide if i want blinkers or not on my side mirros...

I dunno if that's true or not. I have the cheapo ebay ones (like chmercer has) but, with out with light in them. And I can adjust mine just fine. I mean the mirror itself sucks becuase it's wavy around the edges, but You can still see out of them fine.

So...no one payed attention to my post. But I would think if someone started to fab up a few replacement mirrors for the Ganador's they'd make some money. :shrug:

if you care enough to get new glass cut for your side mirrors you need to spend less time buying side mirrors and more time waxing your SE wheels or polishing your tail lights or somthing else anal like that

S15
R34

For S14 and S13 you need to use their "universal" mirror and also get the plastic mounting plate made for your respective car.
