Dee Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I've been looking for a set of fender mirrors for my 280, but the only set I've found are shipping from the Philippines with an estimated delivery of December sometime, just wanted to check here to see if there is another place state-side to buy these. This is the particular style I'm looking for, nothing to fancy just plain black: Thanks. -Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Those look like cheap Thai knockoffs. HEREs the real deal... Good luck finding them in the US, importings really the only way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takayuki Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Yup. I bought mine from yahoo auction japan for quite the money. When i think back, i should have just got the cheaper and more common chrome oem mirrors and coated them with plasti-dip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine within 2 weeks of ordering and I am right down the road in Diamond Bar. The price is hard to beat and helps offset the wait.

Guest cameronqp Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 They look bad ass if you ask me. I like how they go with that gun metal paintjob is that your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cameronqp Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Sorry I just read the post but yeah your best bet is eBay and if your desperate try Craigslist. Idk if amazon would have something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) I just went ahead and pull the trigger on that ebay deal, the guy has tons of feedback on them and most people are satisfied so why not. I'll be sure to update this thread once they're here in a couple of weeks I guess. Thanks for the replies. I bought those exact mirrors from the seller in the Phillipines.

Do you have pictures of yours installed, only Z I've seen them installed on is that gunmetal 2+2 I posted.
