how about buying several nice looking individual "fins" ?

paint them your body color and install in the same location as the sigle piece unit.

I have the X-factor design one as well as his folding mirrors. They are both quality jobs. I know he does group buys for 9glancer club and ClubCJ.net so he might be able to help out.

Mind posting a picture of your folding mirrors please?

I've been after this for quite a while now and haven't pulled the trigger cause I don't know exactly how good they look during daytime ( I need a good pic ) and second the installation process... how hard was it?

thanks in advance

some serious exaggeration going on with the prices of shipping. the side mirrors are noww $190 for the set, they used to be 220 + shipping. shipping is about 50 so you figure 240 shipped is pretty decent considering they are painted to match. the VG is only 55.00 painted to match also, pretty decent quality no complaints and shipping is $40, comes to 95.00 shipped for an oem fit VG painted to match...thats pretty good if you ask me.

Maybe I'm just blind (trying to sneak peaks at the website and this forum during work) but where does the xfactordesign stuff ship from? They talk about VAT and their images are of RHD cars so I assume the UK?

yeah but not the same company, thats lame that RC refused direct pickup thats real lame...

check out x-factor, also look up ARS body kits they have alot of similar stuff that RC, voxx motorsports, scorpion body kits has and for much cheaper/ cheaper shipping.
