Carefull with those mirrors!!
 
I've already managed to break the mirrors on the Skyline AND RSX. All just from driving around in my kitchen, and well a little bit of bumper car action :D . I hope they come out with mirror sets, now if they get the actual "Bomex" mirrors or some sort of different mirror..., now that'd be the icing on the cake as far as details go.

ZipRC 10-20-2003 07:34 PM

for the rsx id like a nice C-west bodykit, hood vents, craftsquare mirrors, and a larger racing muffler. that would be the shizzy. Also maybe the integra (japanese) style rounded spoiler.

Hugopolo 10-20-2003 07:37 PM

Yup I also broke my mirror on the rsx by driving the side into a lamp post

I broke the mirror hitting a suitcase in my dad's basement last night. A little superglue and it's good as new.

keep an eye on that mirror, i reglued mines also and it broke again, i'm going to try and plastic weld it and maybe that'll hold up better.

TypeZer0 10-20-2003 08:40 PM

Silent_NightR34 10-20-2003 08:42 PM

i understand what you mean but i'd rather just play with it and have real fun ya know? Yeah it's mighty ugly and an eye sore w/out the mirror but it comes with the territory.

"Battle Scars" -nuff said:D ;)

Micro S2000 10-21-2003 04:02 PM

i like to call them beauty marks, my brothers supras givin me quite a few

viperkilla 10-21-2003 04:22 PM

Are the mirrors made of hard plastic like the body is, or is it a very rubbery type of plastic that can be bent?

Bad Company 10-21-2003 04:25 PM

They are the same hard plastic as the body.....but that would be a good mod....hmmm.

viperkilla 10-21-2003 04:27 PM

Go for it bad company :D. From all the mods I have seen you do, I think that you probably could do that mod. A mirror made of soft plastic would be good, because if you hit the sides then it would just bend and stay contacted to the body.

Paintballa 10-21-2003 04:57 PM

yeah i hope that they come out with replacement bodies soon. even ones of the current cars that r out so that i can have a clean supra to put the body kit on when it comes out. my supra is still completely intact but its mad scratched up. i have flipped it a few times on the tennis court, hit walls, and just today i meant to switch it into hi gear but i switched the steering to left handed(doh) and i ran it under the tennis court fence so now it has a fairly deep scratch part way up the windshield and on the roof.

o well what the heck r these things for right might as well hav fun with em.

viperkilla 10-21-2003 05:05 PM

Ouch, your car got caught under the fence. That must really suck. Hey paintballa what part of Maryland do you live in? I live in Montgomery County.

TypeZer0 10-21-2003 05:10 PM

i say we cut a piece of a real mirror and fit it into the mirrors on the bodyfor realism lol

ever seen those mirrors that fold up? (my dad's 96 accord has it) maybe someone could make it pivot when somethign hits it so rather than flying off broken, it'll just slam into the body :D

viperkilla 10-21-2003 05:12 PM

Hey thats really clever to make the mirror have a pivot or something to let the mirror fold up. I wonder what we could use that would be small enough to make that happen.

aperson 10-21-2003 06:45 PM

i finally got mine couple of days ago, broke the mirrors yesterday after my dog kicked it clear across the garage. if you don't want the gaping holes where the mirrors should be cut off the mirrors and paint it then just put the flat pieces in place of the mirrors.

Savior*insider 10-21-2003 06:57 PM

the xmods team is aware of the mirror problem. they are considering using a hard rubber mirror in the future

viperkilla 10-21-2003 08:16 PM

Hey welcome to to forums. But do you work for radioshack or something? I mean your signature says you have all the upgrades. Also from your post it seems you work at radioshack.

Savior*insider 10-21-2003 09:42 PM

dont work for them but a direct realative is on the xmods team so he runs things by me a lot.

joeNuggetz 10-22-2003 10:05 AM

Sounds like you guys don't know how to drive to well. Be carefull.

Savior*insider 10-22-2003 04:00 PM

maybe you don't know how to have FUN. i don't see the point of buying a toy and not have fun with it, can't really have fun driving something so small so fast especially driving with other people. Somethings are totally unavoidable and unintentional.
