I'm bummed. Just lost an auction on ebay for one of these. Congrats to the winner if he is here. Thought that $20 over the bid would work...
Does anybody have one of these units for sale, or plans or description to build one? I don't believe Dr Evil makes them anymore... TIA Michael |

Hey guys,
I am not fully out of the biz, I am currently lookign for acceptable cores and the parts houses here in PA SUCK. Paul (lotus), You are welcome to make them if people wish to buy them from you. No worries here so long as you expect that some time in the future I will be seeling them as well. I use them to pay for text books and parts (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I appreciate your consideration in not jumping into making them. I agree $80 is a bit stiff, but when you consider that they were going for $120+ a couple of years ago then it is not so bad. I would not use a 2002 model BMW mirror as they are too small to be effective. You can use any BMW mirror that you like as it is the size of the glass and the way that it originally mounted that made it a great candidate. I was selling my mirriors for $50-55 shipped as they take a few hours to get parts, set it up and get it right. You COULD do it your self, but it is a time vs money thing for most people and I know what a PITA they can be to do. Currently I would be selling my version for between $60-70 as I woudl have to import parts from a different supplier. Also, I would not be able to start making them until June when I am off school. Currently my car is sporting my latest innovation in mirrors, a mirro with two adjustable, aimable halogen map lights. Can you say pimp!? It works awsome, but to mass produce is cost prohibative (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) |
