For the G28 builders, remember that you'll need to modify OEM sized mirrors to fit your car.  The triangle shaped bases are much larger on a set of OEM mirrors and you would need to either modify the bases or modify your G28 doors to accept them. 

Maybe this picture will help demonstrate what I'm talking about.

I met a man with a dollar, we exchanged dollars and we still had a dollar. I met a man with an idea, we exchanged ideas and now we both have two ideas!!!

I'm just looking out for my buddy. I happen to know he is nearly taking a loss on these just to help out forum members. Pedro is a good guy and we don't want to take advantage of that. I actually expected he would charge more for them. He isn't making a lot of money but he at least needs to break even. These are some of the nicest replica mirrors I have seen yet, if not the nicest.
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

I think it's a fair price but saving a couple dollars is always great.

That's what I would do Pedro. I'd just get the guts from another mirror of similar size. It seems doable and the easiest and cheapest route.

Sorry Jadams. ;) Pedro can set his own prices but I think he is being very reasonable given the costs involved. I'm sure you would agree.

What would the entire set cost of it has positive overwhelming intrest?

That's hard to answer right now.  I really haven't taken the folding mechanism completely apart to see how many pieces it has but it seems like 4 major components.  Even if I did cast all those pieces it doesn't mean that one will be able to put it together and you will have a working folding part.  The folding motor in the middle of the assembly is the one that actually does the operation, if you don't have that motor then you would need to figure out something to replace it with.  I guess you could go and get the guts out of another folding mirror and just use the pivot part in place of the motor.

Is it going to include the entire fold in assemble too? Also can I have a lamboclone member discount? LOL LOL

Nope, it won't include the folding mechanism at this time.  If there enough interest in the mechanisms then I can make them also.

I don't think that price is going to include the folding assembly - just the shells. I think $350 *IS* the lamboclone discount! The material to make these is quite expensive.

How much for a pair of those mirrors?

I'm thinking around $350.00 for the pair.

Thanks Puprle and Pines
