Cheap A$$ mirros on the Bay

spins · 04-11-2008, 03:36 PM

Has anyone bought those cheap mirrors on the Bay? I love the look of the Ganadors but 400 for 2 mirrors is just too much right now. Im just wondering the quality and fitiment of these mirrors

eBay Motors: 92 93 94 95 TOYOTA MR2 K6 SPORT SIDE MIRRORS SMOKE LED (item 190213145749 end time Apr-12-08 17:17:09 PDT)

heres one link but if you search mr2 mirror, you will get about 40 different mirrors for under 30 bucks

$19.99? First thought was "Wow...they must suck." I knew someone with a well known cheap brand set of mirrors on their car and the glass fell off the base. I knew someone else with the same crap brand and they lasted, so IDK. I suppose at $19.99, it's a pretty inexpensive gamble. If you get them and they suck, call it lesson learned. If you get em, get em with the amber turn LEDs. If you decide to hook the led turn signals up and have Blue or something, you'll get get un-wanted attention.

At $19.99, if you do decide to gamble and get em, post a review on em. I really curious to know how bad they actually are...

19.99 with shippping that is nearly as much....

I didn't look @ the shipping cost. $40 is still cheap though...makes me wonder about the quality...

I bought those for my integra before I flipped it and they blew monkey ball

My friend has those (without the blinkers) on his Accord. Fitment was crap, very universally made. instructions were in Korean. do NOT get these. they also dramatically reduce what you see out your mirrors. (ie more blind spots)

sounds like i will have to save for the ganadors then i guess.

PHOENIX · 04-11-2008, 10:14 PM

they are cheap thin plastic and usually don't fit correctly.

to sum everything up....ebay is ebay...you get what you pay for..no matter how much someone dresses up the product its true colors are gonna come out the minute you take it out of the box

pleitez05 · 04-11-2008, 10:55 PM

i bought the F1 from ebay and they suck i can't see a F***** thing on the passenger side

RePete · 04-11-2008, 11:19 PM

C'mon guys - think for chrissakes! You get what you pay for. What can you possibly expect for the price of a large pizza?

In comparison, just one OEM power mirror side is about $160.

I'm going to be grafting a set of '93 Celica mirrors to my MR2 mounting bases (I don't like the adapter plate idea as it doesn't sit perfectly). They will look similar to the Granador (sp?), but be full of OEM goodness

pleitez05 · 04-12-2008, 02:14 AM

i think i try the my self can you tell me what year celica you talking about i have a 01 gt i did like my mirrors in the one

pleitez05 · 04-12-2008, 02:15 AM

my back i did'n see the 93 there

canadam · 04-12-2008, 03:20 PM

This is what I'll be looking for. These are Andreas' (theGerman):

RePete · 04-12-2008, 06:03 PM

Very nice, very suitable on the SW20 chassis - clever selection. The peek-a-boo hole reminds me of the side vents.

canadam · 04-12-2008, 06:13 PM

I think they should look good

I got the Celica mirrors from immorality's AllTrac when he switched to JDM folding ones.
