Default Side Mirrors w/blinkers

Before I bought my 350Z I saw a website that had Side mirrors with blinkers built in (Mercedes style).
Has anyone else seen these or am I hallucinating? Thank you for any help.

nope not hallucinating, I forget who makes them though... I know they were seriously expensive, like 800$ or something.

http://www.primaru.com/350z-a011.html

there we go.

I dont speak japanese, but I speak numbers. and 59500yen is around 560$. though I thought they were more... theres a 1000 there too, which Im betting is for painting, but that only adds like 6$, so Im thinking that cant be right.

Thank you for finding them, they're definitely sweet but $600 for blinking mirrors seems to be a bit ridiculous, and that's without shipping. Still I keep my hopes up that some company out there will make some just as sweet as the ones pictured but for a lot less money, maybe some kind of conversion kit would be the best route.

close to impossible to do a conversion, like that anyway. market would be pretty small if they asked you to cut your mirrors. so they need to make a whole new mirror.

I like the stock mirrors and dont think that a euro style lighted mirror would look good.

Hey ares, you're an inventor... you thinking about even trying this one? Seems semi feasible...

I thought about it, for about 4sec. that setup is just unrealistic, doing it isnt hard, just cost too much(isnt that how everything is?)

I then though, what about just using surface mounts for LEDs so you could easily install it to the existing light. thought about that for about 10sec and decided it wasnt really what I wanted, so not going to bother getting a consilation setup.

its just too expensive, its already been done "right" by primaru, not much that could be improved about theres.

Thumbs up Evo-R is working on them.......

We are working on those right now.....will be a complete replacement of your OEM mirrors, and with motors and all the wriing. Will be something similar to "Primaru"'s side mirrors but in real carbon fiber. We just LOVE carbon fiber too much.

I like the Primaru ones myself, actually I love them, they have that clean factory look but they're just too expensive. As far as the carbon fiber ones being worked on, I may be the only person alive that doesnt like the look of carbon fiber. Let me rephrase that, I like the look, just not all over the place and painting carbon fiber seems like a pretty silly idea.
I've decided to go with the side emblems with the three little lights in them, I think they're pretty sweet and the price is nice.

If the mirror blinker happened to be a Z symbol instead of a straight bar, that might be quite cool. IMO at least.

I think carbon fiber looks cheap and nasty.

Just my opinion

I love carbon fiber. after its been painted .

no one actually thinks any CF on a car is real anymore, and 99% of the time it isnt.

see a cf hood, its a safe bet its just an overlay. most of the real carbon fiber thats 100% real is painted.
