custom side mirrors



Will these look good on G35 coupe? My passenger's side mirror got big scratch on it recently (possibly from a parking lot) and I don't feel like getting new ones at the dealership that would cost well over $300+.

My car is already black so I don't need to paint these.

I like our mirrors and the work fine, not to mention they don't cause noise like many aftermarket mirrors do. If it's not broken....you know the rest.

I almost spit my drink out! That is so funny!

OP stick with OEM they look good, try a local junk yard for a replacement mirror if yous does not buff out, or repaint it.

If the scratch isn't too deep you could go to the local carwash if they use a high speed buffer pay the guy $10 to remove/buff out the scratch....problem solved! Polish and elbow grease or orbital buffer won't get the job done!
