got a pair last night. Did a trial fit and it looks like they may not bolt right on, the angles seem wrong.

does anyone have experience with these??

Yeah I got a pair and found they will not really work right without some serious cutting. So now I have them sitting in my closet.


I ordered several aftermarket motorcycle mirrors. Gonna see what I can make from them. When I'm thru I will post up what seems to work in case anyone else would like to try.

I 'm thinking a custom base might need to be made to get the right angles. that will also give me the ability to use the stock mounting holes.

i noticed that the pass. side mounting holes are bigger and non threaded is this stock??

I just don't trust those mirrors. They all move from what I have seen. Motorcycle mirros don't move at 150 so I am gonna give them a try first.

Don't know for sure. I ordered several sets so I can take different parts and put them together to make a mirror I like.

Yeah I just found that picture on the net. I wish I ordered those. They are pretty. I didn't order carbon and definetly didn't get carbon look. I hope to have some pictures and let you know what worked this weekend or monday. They didn't get shipped out til yesterday.

You know if you guys want to do a brother a solid, I have a pristine 240Z in the driveway that just got back from the paint shop and when they disassembled the Vitaloni Californian mirrors to paint the mirror body they broke the passenger side glass.
I just need the mirror glass and I can't seem to find the mirror anywhere.
Could you spare the glass? They are just taken space in your closet man??? smile.gif
