akumazeto Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 http://www.thezstore.com/ They have it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggedbert Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I think he was asking about the difficulty level of the install! I was interested in this mirror, but it just seems too big on the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziza z Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 They are completely useless. Look great. But vibrations in the mirror make it completely useless. You might be able to see the color of the car behind you. Maybe. Not to mention its over priced (like all of msas crap) for the poor quality of the kit.

I have the mirror kit and I would have to agree. Lots of vibration. But I have a idea that if maybe I lay some "rattle pad" from second skin, It might absorb all of the vibrations. Either that or use the second skin sludge spray to absorb the vibrations. This may work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akumazeto Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Oh im sorry. I didnt read correctely. I'll ask my friend he has it on his car and I'll get back to you but i think his vibrates as well but Ill check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziza z Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I tried something similar. I put a small piece of rubber between the window frame mount and the actual mirror. Helped, but it was still very annoying. In the end i ditch them and went with mirrors that mount near the stock location. Much better. I can actually see whats behind me now (flashing red and blue lights most of the time it seems..... ) I have the mirror kit and I would have to agree. Lots of vibration.

jknc90 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I can actually see whats behind me now (flashing red and blue lights most of the time it seems..... ) They must recognize your car from F&F and just assume your speeding lol. I had the same kit on my car and the vibrations are annoying. They do look good though IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akumazeto Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 ok so I got some info. My friends said it used to shake but then he went to a hardware store and got some foam for seats and just stuffed it. I dont know if thats what y ou wanna do but he said it doesnt shake as much as before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jknc90 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I realized on my way to work yesterday that these mirrors don't vibrate any more then my Maxima does Because of the stereo lol. And I think I'm gonna try the foam that akumazeto mentioned because I really like the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage42 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I think the size is good for a Z car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Pparaska used 1993 Toyota Tercel mirrors. You can get them in electric and manual-inside adjust. They are less than the cost of the MSA mirrors and they look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B00STDZ Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Well I already have the msa flush mounts... I plan to either keep them installed or go with the smaller door mount side mirrors of a topic I bumped below this one that displays a white z car with them. What I was wondering is if anyone fixed the vibration issues on these mirrors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was wondering is if anyone fixed the vibration issues on these mirrors? No vibration issues on the set installed on the 240Z above and I had an extra set (from MSA) that a friend installed on his son's 510 and no vibration issues there. Now, the mounting plate is far from ideal, but it works. I'm looking at coming up with a better installation of the plate to mount the mirrors to.

revlis240 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I think the size is good for a Z car! Dude whose Z is that? The paint job is amazing. I want to know what a job like that costs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
