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:How would it be best to cover the factory mirror holes???

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...
Juice said:Ummmm...how are these powered again? The feed for the power and controls would have a hard time being reworked into the front sash for the window. The only reason Veilside developed these mirrors is because the door on thei kit gets so reworked that the OEM mirrors become useless. I can't believe ALL of you guys are willing to paint your doors just to have "cool" mirrors.
On the other hand, I am in the market for a cheap set of OEM mirrors to do some custom work on. If anyone wants to sell me thiers please PM me!

olle olsson said: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.

Ojas said: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.
You are 100% correct in your observation. The mirrors are made assymetric for a right handed car. I was quite upset when I first got the mirrors. But everything is possible to fix. However I have pointed the fact to Veilside that the best way would be to make the mirrors symetric or make them also Assymetric for the rest of the world whos got Left hand driven cars. However as I stated before I had to re glue mine mirrorglas with a 15 degree spacer so I could use them until they hopefully sending me new ones.
However mine are not powered and I do not need them to be either. How offen do you really need to adjust them?? And finally. Yes I have painted the whole doors. God point to tell Veilside to make some kind of sticker or simular to cover the OEM holes. I will personally get in touch with them to.
iasports said: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.
