I don't think so, you need to fill up the hole and repaint the door.
You'll have to spend several hundred dollars or more to have the holes welded closed, bodyworked, and repainted. Trying to do it the cheap route will end up ruining your car IMO. So on top of the cost of the mirrors, remember, you're going to spend a whole lot more having them installed the right way.TommyP said:
Now that I think about the work involved, I'd guess a bodyshop will charge over a grand to do it right. Call a bodyshop and ask. And make sure you tell them it's an aluminum door panel. Something to think about at least...
Cool to know they are powered. Curious to know if it is plug n play w/ the oem harness. I am in either way.

After a few days of serious though, I think I feel reluctant to take the OEM side mirror away and leave a holes on the door and waiting for me to filled it up and repainting it. And some more, I feel heart ache to drill holes on the sash just to attach CF mirror onto it...
I think I prefer OEM's looking side mirror. I really loves NSX and I also loves how it was designed and looks. Sorry guys, I think I'm out.
Cheers,

i don't care about the drill....but the idea of repainting 2 doors is making me having second thought.

Please note that your DO NOT need to drill any new holes on the sash. You have to use the three OEM holes. You just need to make them a little bit bigger (M6) You can then always dismount them again and but back the black OEM metal pieces. I think it could be real nice even if you still saving the OEM holes in the door for the OEM mirrors. It would not be impossible to make something look quite nice to put over OEM mounting holes in the doors.
I realy think that these mirrors looks better than the over sized OEM ones.
Good luck everyone. I do not regret that i ordered and mounted mine.

Ok, now I'm really confused
Please confirm which way are they, power/non-power, also RHD/LHD, if RHD, can they be easily adjust to LHD???
I would like to see more pix of the car with them and not just the mirrors.
Since they are not powered I am out
Thx
Jeff

these mirrors are form over function.
looks like youre going to lose a lot of visability since these mirrors are teeny weeny. about 40% loss.
motorized or not. how often do you guys adjust your mirrors anyways?
unless some of you guys are eating wheaties and still growing.
since NSX Veilside Maisty model is 'made to order' only, someone should get in contact with them and make some improvements while they have time.
1. add mirror angle motor.
2. add rebound joint with retractable motor and switch.
3. make the mirror slightly bigger, or not
4. have an optional kevlar? maybe.
6. lasty, include a VEILSIDE sticker to cover up the door holes from the OEM mirror mounts
heck, you guys are paying for it, you deserve to get what you really want.
just a thought :smile:

Not symmetric?
Olle, you did a great job on your NSX. Thank you for the detailed pictures. Do you notice a difference between the right and left mirrors? It looks like the angle on the left (driver’s side) mirror is too steep. I tried to illustrate this in the picture below.
When I first saw the pictures of your car, I thought it might just be an illusion, but it looks the same in the pictures you just posted and seems very noticeable from the inside. I am not sure if this is a defect in the design of the mirror or if it is part of the adjustments you made to adapt the mirrors to LHD seating position. If it is the latter, is there a way to adjust the left mirror while still perserving the same angle as the right mirror?
evof575gtc: excellent points (I like #6!). But since you skipped #5, I would add:
5) Ensure the mirrors are symmetric and design for LHD, if possible.

Will the mirrors be left hand drive specific for the states? Veilside should easily be able to do this for us. Otherwise it will be very awkward to drive. My car is a daily driver so.....

Here is some more information I received from Veilside.
1) about the motors, unfortunatly the housing are too small to fit a motor.
2) We wont be able to make the mirrors larger, it would require a new mold to be made...the costs are not worth selling a few mirrors. We'd have to sell over a hundred to make up the cost.
3) mirror angle was made for RHD cars. Due to Japan road laws it had to be made at that angle. The angle is off on the passenger side when mounting them on LHD cars. If that bothers people they can go to a glass shop, have a new glass cut, and remount it.

I think it will be off on both driver and passenger side, if that is the case, take me off the list. I think since this order is from the US, they should make it for LHD cars and specify on the document to their gov't these are for export purpose, not for domestic use. Or include the parts for us to to correct them ourselves with instructions...:frown:
