G2/ M3 mirror
I haven't seen any threads on the g2/ m3 side view mirrors. I've read people feel they're ricey and gearbox has said they provide less vision, but how do they look when installed on the car. Does anyone have photos of the g2/ m3 side view mirrors installed on their 7th gen cause I'm not gonna lie....I like the blue led arrow....
Re: G2/ M3 mirror
i bought these off eBay for 40 bucks and i think they are bad ***. Just make sure that you paint them to match your body. When you get them they are extremely shiny and shitty looking. but with a nice paint job on them they are sick.

Nice...do you have pics of your 'vic because I wanna see how they look on them. Also, do you have photos of your back-up camera in your trunk key hole because I've been wanting to do this.
Re: G2/ M3 mirror
I actually do not have pictures of either. And we are getting our first big snow fall so i dont think ill be able to get pictures until the weather gets better. But i will not forget to do that. the camera is amazing it fits right in the key whole so you can hardly tell its even there. Awesome mod you can see everything behind you so well. ill keep in touch ya bro

Re: G2/ M3 mirror
im looking for aftermarket mirrors too, mainly for weight reduction and aerodynamics. i dont care about losing power function, i havent adjusted the mirrors in over a year. the bomex ones look pretty neat, but way too pricey ($250+) lol. the apc ones (no leds) also have a good look but all i can find are the chrome ones and i want black so i can paint it. those are cheap as hell at 25 shipped.
some pics of apc, they would be smaller than stock but maybe still big enough to be useful.


if you really like being illegal and distracted at night, they have the riced version

bomex would be the best for aerodynamics, but i wonder if you can see anything and how does it adjust?
very hard to find any sites that sell these mirrors tho

these are what i have what do you think about these. I sanded them down a little and then painted the ssm to match and they look sick as hell! and its just barely smaller than stock i can barley tell

Re: G2/ M3 mirror
not too bad, i dont want leds cause i already have sidemarkers. i dont think i can justify the terrible looks of the bomex to buy them.

Re: G2/ M3 mirror
I looked but I did not see any one eBay without leds and all they had was Chrome APC for ten bucks with 14 shipping. I like the G2s better than the apc ones personally. I wonder how the G2s would look without the leds?
Re: G2/ M3 mirror
What if you didn't hook up the LEDs and smoked the lens or even painted the lens. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=110457719625

Re: G2/ M3 mirror
thanks for all the pics. gearbox...but those bomex ones are....well...different...haha...for aerodynamic purposes they'd be awesome...also i'm in a similar boat about the side view mirrors now because I just ordered the rsx sidemarkers so i don't want it to be overkill with my sidemarkers, led arrow, and the back of mirror all saying i'm turning...haha...7th gens need more side view mirror options for sure cause that circus lighted one isn't gonna cut it...

Re: G2/ M3 mirror
post pics if you do...i'd love to see the final results...Also, gear I read somewhere that you installed leds to replace all your bulbs in your car such as your climate control buttons, mirror buttons, etc. etc. etc. I found the website ledautomotive which have it specifically for our cars. How is the install/ the led swap?...I really want mine to be blue...
Re: G2/ M3 mirror
I've had the G2 mirror (no not the bomex and no not the BMW look alike)
The G2 mirror has that hole in the mirror...
It wasnt too bad and looked alright cuz i had it painted car color but the hole creates loud wind noise on highway. Also mirror is preetty small.
Another negative (although the mirrors are cheap and light) the led didnt last very long and isnt very bright
