Group Buy Blue convex mirrors

[d.n]

Removed my mirrors tonight. One of the pieces is pretty fragile so be careful when you take yours apart.

Remove one philips screw here:

The mirror will then come out, but is still attached by a white plastic ball socket about the size of a BB. This guy is pretty fragile and cannot be purchased as a replacement part without buying the glass, so be careful with it. The socket that the ball sits in is shown below (you can see the orientation of a "key" pointing straight down in the pic) and has a small key to one side. The best way that I found to remove it was to pull straight out and not to try and tilt the glass.

[edit]

Here's a pic showing the white piece and the "ball". After looking at this some more I think it's easier and safer to remove the white piece from the housing itself rather than trying to detatch the ball side from the mirror. There is also one plug to unplug to complete removal of the mirror glass.

I’d like to buy some of the convex mirrors as well, but I just want to make sure I understand how this is supposed to work. Do I understand correctly that:

• you are going to collect orders until February 28
• the factory in China will produce the number of mirrors ordered
• after the mirrors are produced you will collect the money from the people who ordered them and forward a portion of it to China
• the factory will then send the mirrors to you in California and you will forward them on to the people who paid

Is that correct? If I want a spare do I need to order it now or are you going to have some mirrors produced for your own stock as well to sell to NSX owners at a later date?

Just as an update to the install instructions, I looked at this more last night and I think it's better to leave the white plastic ball attached to the mirror and pull it out of the housing side since that end isn't fragile. I'll try to take a pic of this later.

Also there is one plug to unplug as well

Add me to the list. I'm assuming you'll ping us all when we need to PayPal you the funds.

I dropped off my 91 mirrors earlier today. I saw Jaima had the mirrors installed on his S2k too so he's another enthusiast which is what I like to see.

It has actually been quite some time since I drove my s2k. The mirrors are great. I'm terrible at parallel parking and being able to see the curb helps immensely

This may be the wrong thread to ask, but are these available without the blue tint? I like the idea of the convex lens but not in blue. I would buy a set if that were possible.

[Kevin33]

Just a thought.....

Could we have the passenger side mirrors embossed with:

"Objects in the mirror are slower than they appear"

You know, just to be sure we're in compliance with DOT, NHTSA, etc. ect.

Thought I'd ask.

actually it can put some word on the mirrors both sides if you guys want.. let me know then.

that reminds me... are the passenger mirrors slightly magnified like the OEM ones? It won't matter to me but it would be nice to know.

It would be pretty cool if you were really able to put "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear". It'll have a nice OEM zing to it.

Not a deal breaker either way though

Because both sides are convex I believe both should say "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear".

OEM NSX mirrors here in Europe do not state that "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear". Come to think of it, our hammers don't have warning labels that state "Danger: do not hit yourself on head with hammer" and our ladders don't state "Caution: serious injury may result if you fall off ladder".

Personally, I think it would be nicest just to have the mirror glass without any warning etched into it.

technically you're correct. i was just going for the OEM effect which on 2nd thought... i don't really care about. this makes me wonder though how much more convex these blue mirrors are vs. the already mildly convex passenger side mirror (here in the US).

OEM NSX mirrors here in Europe do not state that "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear". Come to think of it, our hammers don't have warning labels that state "Danger: do not hit yourself on head with hammer" and our ladders don't state "Caution: serious injury may result if you fall off ladder".

being a dumb American, i'm glad i've never hit myself in the head with a hammer though perhaps i'd be rich from the lawsuit...
