GANADOR SUPER MIRRORS REVIEW by SIMOTA1 ;)

simota1 · 10-05-2013, 07:15 AM

Hey everyone i thought id put this together since i dont think much people are rocking these mirrors....

Construction: The quality of the construction of the mirrors are absolutely amazing.

Top notch all the way around. the base of the mirror is aluminum and i cant tell but im pretty sure the shell is also aluminum and not plastic... these babies are plenty heavy... almost as heavy as the oem stock ones....

Installation: took me about 5 mins per mirror.... it was a breeze

the best part is they come with a harness all you have to do is unplug your old mirror and plug the ganadors in

and yes these babies are FULLY POWERED... so when you adjust the mirrors you adjust them from the oem side mirror knob

Lenses: although the mirrors are a little bit smaller than the oem ones.. the view of them are great

they are convexed on the ends of the mirrors so it really helps with blind spots

however these do not curve as hard as the craftsquare mirrors.. NOW those babies are like HELLA convexed man when i had those mirrors they were like looking at a magnifying glass...

so what would i rate them? 9 outa 10.... if your wondering why not 10 outa 10? well because there is only one thing wrong... the fake CF paint... i absolutely hate fake cf... thats why i rate it a 9

HOWEVER i must say that i am impressed by the "paint cf" it looks pretty damn convincing against my varis hood

originally i was gonna repaint them black.. but after i installed them... i am ok with how they are....

now onto the pictures!!!!

lastly there are 2 versions of this side mirror.... one with signal and one without signal... i opted for non signal so that it wouldnt be so many lights blinking when im signaling.. i think the fender z signal is good enough

Looks gooooood!

Thanks. I was looking into this. I saw a picture of a PW with a set of these and looked really good. I like the shape and the size. Our oem mirrors are slightly larger for my liking. These mirrors look magnificent so good job on your purchase. I could not tell if they were powered or not and you answered the question. Another down side, it is just expensive. Same as the price of JDM tails. You got it from bulletproof? Also, I thought you were dead set with Technosquare, what made you change your mind?

Shadezz · 10-05-2013, 11:33 AM

Sick Made...nice Review buddy!! (" think the car makes the mirrors though")

Felix 808 · 10-05-2013, 01:32 PM

Those look much better than your Shrek ears

How's that little cutaway window, is it functional at all? Good to hear these are direct power replacements, might be an option for me later down the line. Thanks for sharing as always

6MT-Z34 · 10-05-2013, 02:03 PM

Nice review!!

Its good that you still have the power mirror options, but I would like to know if you still have the heated option as well?

i got these directly from japan... however i am confident bulletproof can get them for you with out a doubt

when i ordered the craftsquares directly from craftsquare i had to wait over 3 months... which is fine right? However i ordered the short arm version but was sent the long arm version. When they arrived i was so dissapointed because i felt the short arms flowed better with the z....Craftsquare told me i could send it back and theyll send me the correct version but would have to wait 3 months again. I told them nvm ill just live with the long arm version.... long story short when i found my top secret bar i sold 3 things to raise funds... my original plan was which ever sells first in the 3 things.... what parts that didnt sell i would keep.... well they all pretty much sold all in the same time

so then i told myself i would order the short arm version... but i did more research and came across that PW z your talking about.... and i loved it.... i asked almost all of my z friends on fb what they thought... some hated it... and some loved it.... when i did more research on the forum... i found archives on these mirrors when BP brought them up for interest.... those threads came crashing down from everyone saying they were absolutely ugly.... i think the only reason why the mirrors looked ugly on that z was cuz the rims were hella ugly and not to mention the lip kit made it look like a rx8

price wise i still think its worth it though

jdm is always expensive but the quality is always there...i would like to add the price is a little bit cheaper than craftsqaure

when i found out they were powered THAT sealed the deal and wrote it in stone... the craftsqaure took me 1 hour and a half to adjust correctly....get out of my z adjust.... sit back down.... check.... i did this about 30 times almost.... by the time i adjusted it i was exhausted from adjusting it not the install LOL
