Garage HRS Rear fender flares & Rearview Mirrors

Hi all,

My first post! I'm a former Evo VII (french blue!) owner. Had to sell it as I moved to Miami, FL a number of months ago. Had to let her go, sob, sob! That new MR is making me salivate right now!!

My post is regarding the Garage HRS rear fender flares. Does anyone know if those are going to be sold to the general public? Perhaps some of the vendors know, Vivid, Bulletproof etc? It looks like its molded to be used with the C-West rear bumper & side skirts?

What about the rearview mirrors on the Cyberevo? Are those going to be produced and sold?

Additionally, curious as to the way the front wide fender is mounted to the front side of the side- skirt. Is this a new prototype wide fender design, or did they just stretch their normal wide fender for more wheel clearance? Anyway, great to post here! Any info from all the Evo experts out there would be great. Thanks!

Marco

Contacted Garage HRS directly and they mentioned that the rear fender flares might see production in the future!

The mirrors aren't the Ganador mirrors. They're actually one offs made by Garage HRS. The Ganador mirrors are cool, but I'd prefer the Ralliart ones (although they don't really work with a LHD car; unless I'm mistaken and there's a LHD version). I did notice the Vivid evo with the front fenders. The way GarageHRS contour the fenders into the front bumper looks a bit awkward, but hey it is an extra 30mm no?!! The Varis front fenders look a bit more finished but they only give an additional 10mm and the rear "without" the aero panel looks very weird.

Here's a rundown of the mirrors; does anyone know what the bottom ones are??

It's for symmetry. Exactly the same on both sides. If you don't have the lettering backwards the flow isn't the same.

Yup, I agree with you.
Would be interesting to see them in black; cause that green sure isn't helping!

I had Osamu Factory Mirrors on my Evo7. Look at pic. Just for a bit though. Went back to the stockers!! Couldn't see at all through those mirrors. In their defense though, they were just carbon rally mirrors which are just for racing purposes. I guess I'm always wanting to try something different, but stock works the best!!

Where did you get those mirrors? They look awesome.
