Either pure crap, or a scam. The grammar is horrible, reminds me of the Nigerian scams. "Reduce wind resistant", "Made by ABS". Run away.......

I would hazard a guess that they are not worth your time to install them. You'd probably be better off detailing your car with that time.

"UPS - Ground $16.95"
If you're up to it.

It is extremely cheap to make any non-high-tech labour-intesive part outside of Europe and North America (and a few ohter places obviously), specially in big numbers. Plus, they're charging $25 for shipping on a pair of mirrors - another profit there.

There was a set of clear turn signals (whole assemblies) for the E34 on eBay last week for $0.95 new, with the shipping ~$40. Now they've dropped the price on the shipping to $25, but the lamps are $15. Still a smoking deal.

I'm not trying to make you feel guilty, because even I can't resist buying cheap crap at a 1/10 the price (altho I should), but the price for all this is that someone got paid eight dollars a day to make like a million of these things.

I just bought a set from the same seller, I payed 23$ shipped and I got it in 3 days. I haven't installed them yet but they don't seem that bad and for less than 30$ I think I can take a chance.

The wires seem kind of weird, I don't konw If I will have to modify anything, but I'll install them this weekend so I will be able to give a better opinion by monday.

I went out and purchased mine from ebay when they were fresh on the market. Paid around $80, however, they are motorized and have blue/amber led turn signals. Still have yet to install.

Ive been looking at these also. Will you guys who have them be sure to post pics/results/thoughts on these after the install PLEASE. For ALL of us?

[Incantation]

yea they're pretty shitty.. they are only bi-directional.. either up/down or left/right.. and the motors are garbage so they won't work anyway..

however if you paint em to match your car they will look FXCKIN GOOD

but mounting them requires you to (irreversibly) cut out some parts of the rubber housing at the mirror to make them fit flush

having said that, they are WAY better than stock

oh yea.. they also have a cheap plastic anchor bracket which will probably break if you hit it hard
