Opinions On These Side Mirrors

[Toecutter]

I was thinking about getting these mirrors. What do you guys think?

i reakon they are sexy, i was thinking of getting them and then seeing them on this car confirmed that they looked cool (there's a yellow one on classiczcars that has them also) i was wanting to get ones that side on had a really triangular profile, but i'm pretty sure i want to get fender mirrors coz its different, but then these make the car look very sleek and long which is sweet and they can be mounted in the stock spot, i personally perfer them alot more to the ones you currently have...

Hey mate not sure myself I'd have to see them mounted. I guess it depends on the look your going for but I prefer the fender/bullet mirrors myself more period authentic but I guess your wheels are more modern so it might work.

 

I've seen this style on a Honda S2000 and liked them but not sure about a Z.

They look like they should be on a F1 car.

 

Dont know if I like them yet. On modernised looking z (big modern rims etc) they'd be ok.

Rarespares have something similar on their website....

[Toecutter]

Rare spares!

Thats them. $161.00 a pair inc GST. hmmm the bullet mirrors are $60 ea, they're nice too. something to think about!

Chrome bullets, if they stay that price you save about $30-$40.

[Toecutter]

Thanks Ben. I'll watch the auction, still not sure if I want the bullet type though. They are nice. Do you want this pair on auction though?

[Zeddophile]

Nah, I've gone off Ebay - I had the winning bid on a different set of mirrors that would have gone great on my zed, with about 10 hours to go, and the guy ended the auction. Plus, I need the money for those wheels

IMHO those mirrors dont complement the Z shape at all and would suit something more boxy.

[Toecutter]

yer i think i will go for the bullet type

[oldmates260z]

Old topic, but I am interested in what you guys are putting on. I have one Zed with the original mirrors but you cannot see anything out the passanger side. Surely there are some after market ones around that are magnified that are better.

Found these ones on the US ebay, they look good. The brand seems to be TANAX. Has anyone seen these around?

[nat0_240_chevZ]

yea i think i have one of these mirrors on a shell floating around in my workshop!!!

 

not painted or anything but i reckon they look dull and lack the z thing about them,

 

if it pops up ill take a pic, but cant be bothered otherwise to hunt for it!

[JP240z]

nothing shows off an imaculate zed more than original mirrors IMO.

[PZG302]

For a good mirror that you can see out of and complements the Z shape, take a look at Ford Mirrors from the XY through to XC models, I have a set of GT mirrors on my race car and they work well for vision and the looks suit the era. If you get the genuine ones the mirrors do not move in the housing at all.

 

Only down side is they are getting expensie and hard to find at times.

Yeah they are the ones that I've bought, yet to put on though. They weren't exactly the cheapest option, but by far the better looking mirrors in my opinion.
