I got an aftermarket sidemirros but the problem is the passenger mirror is missing(thats why I bought it really cheap). Is there such a shop that can replace it?

damnit i know which ones you bought.

go to a glass shop.p.s. you probably will want to replace the adhesive for the glass. it isn't very strong when they come from the manufacturer.thats just a word of warning to you.just use some strong double sided tape.

You mean just the glass mirror part is missing? You might be able to make a replacement yourself by grinding down a mirror from another car (junkyard). A Dremel works pretty well to shape glass....just take it slowly or the glass heats up and cracks.

haah I see. Yea they retail over 350. I actually wanted the limited edition carbon fiber ones with blue tints but it cost over 530....im like yikes.

So I found an alternative which saves me alot of cash. My online bud sold his s14 ones for 120.

What plug you're talking about?

Man, that's crazy- You suggested for dude to freakin take another piece of glass and mold it to what you needed?

That's hella ghetto- I bet dude made his own house by the sheer will of his own two hands, and only eats food that he killed with his bare hands! lol/jk

actually using clamps and a straight edge (back side of a hack saw blade works good) and a dremel would probably work brilliantly

Exactly my thoughts. I think he's a little drunk or high or both.
