Rollajones Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 hey, looking to put fender mirrors on my ke70 just need a few questions answered! what are some good mirrors to get? ive seen some on ebay but really unsure whether to get them or not where abouts on the fender to i mount them? how hard are they to mount? and what are the negatives of having them? thanks Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 You can get all different kinds of fender mirrors from the typical black JDM fan boy DR3FTZZZ kind of ones , to the polished bullet shape ones I used on my ke70 so the choices are endless. When ebaying mirrors don't "search ke70 fender mirrors" because you will be swamped in Fan boy gear , just search " fender mirrors " and they will be many to choose from. depending on which type you get will depend where you mount them. use tape to dummy them up till you comfortable on where they sitting they easy to mount, two holes into the fender and its done. 1 of the negatives is that your blind spot will increase , so you got to check over your shoulder more often.

Spencer[RL] Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) :yes: But hey , they do look good on certain cars . Which are normally touching the ground they so low and have a set of WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWIDE wheels. Edited January 31, 2012 by Spencer Quote
ke70dave Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 its all up to what you think looks good really, who cares about JDM wannabee styles. those ebay ones are are simliar to the oem ones though. i think these are the type you are looking at: id be inclined to say these are exactly what you are looking at: these are OEM i think, chrome on the GT version. i like this type better, but probably only works if you have round headlights too. be careful though, from a few accounts, in the pouring rain, mirrors half way down your bonnet, are going to be absolutely useless. they do look cool though.

Redwarf Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Just remember that they don't meet ADR's and are therefore not legal. Quote
Rollajones Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Posted January 31, 2012 Just remember that they don't meet ADR's and are therefore not legal. Just those or fender mirrors in general? :blinks: Quote
01sik Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 bah, they look cool though, ive been pulled over heaps of time and havent even noticed. on topic though autobarn/supershit have some generic mirrors in stock if you like the style just fendermount them :) mine is an autobarn one Quote
Rollajones Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Posted January 31, 2012 Got a family friend who used it import cars and has some fan boy style ones for $20 ;) Yewwww! Quote
kickn5k Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Just remember that they don't meet ADR's and are therefore not legal. Yep not legal. Unless they are spring mounted(so they fall away if you hit someone) and can be adjusted from drivers seat(need to be electric). DR30 import skylines have electric fender mirrors. Last set I saw was on yahoo Japan for around $250. Which is less headache than clearing a defect. Stu. Quote
