3 things:
1) you sure they are the APR ones? because they look like the ebay knocks to me. but wat do i know.
2) does it come with the rust as well? i here thats totally in theses days.
3) can you see out of the passenger side one?
my friend has the same ones, and you can even see the mirror from the drivers seat on the passenger side. lolzcoptor.

1) These are the real deal for what it's worth, I believe they say APR somewhere on them IIRC, and the previous owner had receipts of absolutely everything and he bought these legit from somewhere, they were APR and it wasn't ebay.

2) Yeah yeah, bustin ma bawwlzz on that. Bolts are rusted yes, but that's it. I would hope something that small wouldn't be a deciding factor for someone, but it's whatever. Washington rains like a bitch and I guess they weren't treated at all. Simple trip to the hardware store.

3) I can see out of it fine, it's pretty dirty in the pic and the proper viewing angle is off.

4) I guess my only question would be whats the point?

Oh and update your build thread on NWN sometime kthx.

These arent APR's, APR mirrors say APR on the actual mirror like this

Can you not fucking read? They've been on the car a couple years it came off, or the previous owner took them off on purpose, shit I would do the same thing.

He left me with receipts of everything showing me that he bought these from a legit place and they're real APR.

Besides, lettering that has a tendency to come off is a stupid way to tell whether they're fake or anyway. If it were engraved on the mirror and mine don't have them, then yes it would indicate they're fake. But that isn't the case, it's plastic lettering.

Another thing, my friend with an integra has the ebay versions of these (no surprise) his shit started peeling immediately, basically the carbon overlay started flaking. Underneath the clear coat on these, is the layer of carbon that doesn't peel, because it's not a fake vinyl.

After searching, and just to prove a point - these are the only APR replica's on ebay and you can obviously tell the difference

I sure can read.

But the APR logo along with the "Images in Mirror are closer than they appear" wouldnt come off. Ive never seen this come off as they are laser cut into the glass.

Call APR Performance if you would like.. I just asked them, ask for Peter.

Riveting tale, chap. I guess the receipts were a fake, I got juked, and i'm going to sue the previous owner for fraud.

Thanks brah
