want to buy myself a set of cf Ganador Mirrors but i heard that they wont fit for LHD (which makes sence because they are only produced for RHD).now on to my question....which is: is it possible to modify them so that they would also fit LHD????

 

I'd imagine that would require getting the mirrors "re-cut." As anything it can be done but I don't know exactly how easy it would be to get that done.

 

I had JDM mirrors on my Civic, it was such a pita looking through a RHD mirror. +1 on getting them re-cut.

 

Re-cut yes, I have them on my car powered with turn signal leds...visibility below average...be careful switching lanes you'll usually find someone curious in your blindspot and these mirrors will make it harder to detect them.

 

well that sucks so no ganadors for me....any other good looking suggestions?

 

so by cutting you mean that you have to cut and remold the mirror itself or the mirror glas? or could it be done by just modify the holding bracket of the glas mirror?

 

they work on LHD...i have them on my car i did in CF...if u put them on as is u can just set them to their furthest settings and u can see out of them...not as good as stock obviously but they work. bases i painted black and wrapped the mirror in CF...

 

^^^^^^^^ moar pics!

 

Tonester your car is pure WIN!

 

thanx man...wait til u see it next spring....biiiiig plans this winter.. waiting on some stuff from Japan

 

I've had a few sets of Ganadors on my cars. I have NEVER had a problem seeing out of them. *This was on my daily car too.

Also, I wouldn't bother getting the "carbon fiber" ones. Last time I saw them, they are carbon look.

 

i just got a set of Ganadors for my EvoX with both lenses cut with wide angle.. and not specific LHD/RHD... maybe this is a new design change? i dunno but this was different than the Ganadors for the Z

 

yea, the carbon ones they offer are kinda ugly...thats y i went with the plain ones and wrapped em in cf!

 

I just got my Ganador mirrors but haven't installed them yet, the mirrors on both sides look the same from what I can tell.

 

is it possible to just remove the mirror glasses??? so maybe you could modify the glasses...

 

Yeah you can remove the glass.
I would leave it though. Others as well as myself don't seem to have problems with the mirrors.

It's up to you though.
Enjoy the mirrors.

 

how do you remove them??? is it easy to do?
i don´t mind not seeing everything in the mirrors....but since i live in germany and i have to get my street legal again (after putting the mirrors on) should be a hard time with seeing only 30% (compared to stock mirrors).
i thought about modifing the position of the glas itself, so that it would be easy to fine tune it via the electric motors.....if this is possible.
but has anyone good high res pics of those mirrors unmounted?
maybe with the glass off would also help me.

 

The lenses are held on by 2 plastic threaded... studs (for lack of a better term) as well as a ball joint in the middle.

The 2 studs provide the movement of the electric mirror as well.

On my first set, I never removed the glass, but on my second set, I happened to get them secondhand and the lenses were taken out by the previous owner, so I had to put them back in.

 

any chances of modifying those two "studs" or the ball joint????? so that the mirror glas has a different angle (compared to before the mod)?!?!?!

 

I don't think so.

I just took some photos of my mirrors in my car.
I'll upload them tonight when I get home and post them tomorrow or tonight to give you an idea (hopefully) of what it's like.


With the motors, you can adjust the mirror up, down, left, right. You can set it to whatever position you want. There is a large range of movement.
