Just ordered parts for 1M mirror conversion. Surprisingly the hardware for the most part is pretty affordable -- it's the stupid glass that pushes the conversion price north of $1000 ($700 for left/right mirrors)... BUT I was able to find a set of OEM mirrors on eBay for a fraction of the price! And best of all, they were Euro mirrors so they have the wide angle lenses =D

1) Filing report = accident history, do I want to deal with that knowing the car is in ok shape? 2) I'll have to show up to court but there's no way for me to identify/confirm the driver. They ran the plate and it was a company vehicle. So I asked the cop "so you're telling me if someone commits a hit n run but the damage is minimal and the driver can't be identified (b/c he presumably sped away), there's no recourse to that driver?" I told the cop, screw the damage, I'll pay out of pocket. I just want the SOB caught and he/she lose her license but again, he kept saying since I can't identify the driver the person would get away with it. LAME. |

Man that sucks. Are just the caps damaged?
I know Bimmian sells what appear to be carbon fiber skins it looks like for $165 vs the full CF cap which I think is normally like $500+ for the pair if that perhaps is a cheap fix for the old ones. I still think we should steal IEDEI's though to pay it forward. |

I'm going to see if I can find someone selling an OEM CF covers on the classifieds. And if not, I'll buy the regular primed (unpainted) caps at $50 per side and paint myself or vinyl wrap (gloss black or cf). Last edited by 3002 tii; 10-01-2014 at 12:00 AM.. |

Having my caps painted white as we speak. Mine are heated, anti dazzle, power folding and tilting when car is put into reverse. I had to order from England because I'm RHD.

Question, I know LHD and RHD mirror housings are different but are the mirror glass pieces actually different?

Anyone in SoCal who wants to do it, let me know. I did the 1M mirrors (heated, auto-dip, dimming) for less than $480.

Yep. You're welcome. But it's been so long, that I don't remember what I did +1. His looks better than the day I picked up mine, too.
