    JDM FENDER MIRROR's for sale soon!

    After searching for what seems like forever...I got the coveted fender mirror!

    https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-w95467857

    Had to buy the whole damn fender...but I don't care.
    Should be to me in about 2 weeks. NOW here is the fun part. I've talked to some people that have a 3d printer and it's small enough to make plastic copy's!!!
    They will be exact replicas!
    that means I will have fender mirror's for sale in the next month or so!

    Pricing will for them will reflect how much it cost to have them made..so I'm not sure on that yet. but I will keep everyone updated.

    P.S Jamas! you are first in line

    It's a two piece unit with a swivel. Be interesting to see how the hardware is to find. It doesn't look to be too unique.

    What are you going to do for the actual mirror piece?

    Be sure to take good measurements on where the holes in the fender are so everyone has good instructions for mounting.

    Sounds like a project well worth the time and effort!

    I was able to put mine on by unbolting the top of the fender only and did not have to remove the entire fender to make it work properly but the holes were already there for me.

    We'll have to start a Front Fender Mirror group (FFM), like the Black Hood group...

    In regards to the mirror piece itself,I'll probably take it to a glass cutting place and have them cut me a bunch of new ones.

    I'm also getting the entire fender! so the measurements and hole placement will be easy.

    My biggest concern is keeping the price down on making replicas. I don't want it to cost like 400$ a piece lol. don't think many people would want to drop that kind of money for them.

    Could you ask the person doing the scanning if they could mirror the scan so that the final reproduced fender mirror would be on our passenger side?

    Sounds like my V6 hood insert. Quoted $150 but was $230 out the door ... but end result was worth it (IMHO).
