What a reasonable price for a pair of OEM M3 mirrors painted?

How about the bumper reflectors also painted?

While I'm at it, how about the OEM front clears and side markers?

I bought my painted bumper reflectors for $55CDN from Bimmian at a meet in the spring (on impulse).

You can also buy the OEM reflectors which are like $8 each and paint them yourself. Chris(stylez) knows where to buy OEM coloured spray paint.

Reflectors you can get from Bimmian cheap. Email or call him for local canadian price. Or you could DIY. Ask Glenspeed as he did it himself.

Mirrors....Are going to cost over 1K from the dealers here in TO.
Buy from the US if you can.

Look at this link for part numbers.

You do have power seats right Trevor? You will need 12 pin mirrors not the 6 pin mirrors.

What if the merchandise never arrives?

What's your experience?

Well, knock-on-wood, I have done a lot of pay-pal and ebay transactions and none have gone bad.

If you are buying direct through pay-pal you should use a credit card for extra security. Make sure the person you are buying from has a lot of posts or is well known on the board.

You should be able to make a CC stop payment or dispute the transaction.

If you are unsure, buy from a reputable store or online shop for that extra sence of security.

I've never had a bad expeirience with Ebay except for a mistaken delivery of the wrong item, which were replaced. Ebay has fraud protection and so does your credit card.

I bought clear reflectors from a company in the US for about $40 US. I was going to go with the painted ones but that is obviously illegal for the street. This way, I retain reflectors in the corners for the safety concerns.

We had a great laugh over dinner -- Ron, a good friend, Pansit crew member, and all around great guy is selling me his topaz M3 mirrors. We just kept joking around about the price...he wanted to see more dead presidents than i had on me...

M3 mirrors are amazing..can't wait to get mine on on Friday -- thanks Sunapollo and Christyles
