I think from these it would be really easy to make the light fit our mirrors, the LED piece comes right off and could reattach with a bit of fab. You have the template right there, you can out the shape of the light on the stock mirror and that would be it...

Totally agree, that's why I get skiddish about getting Maxima parts from Taiwan or Korea because some companies still think the Teena is just the European version of the Maxima here in the US and most of the body parts are not interchangable.

I hope both of you get this resolved..I acutally Email this about 4 months ago and he said he has them for the 6th gen Maxima.

He kept Messaging me to purchase them and I was very tempeted so many times to get them but got very cautious because he was pushy in the Emails.
Im sorry you guys had to find out the hard way but I hope he does resolve this issue. I sent him Email / Specs of the mirrors already.. He usually responds back to me within 48 hours and its been 4 days since I last Email him.

I hope this guy isnt out to rip the community off. He is aware of this thread and site so I hope hes paying attention.

Excatly , I have family in Asia so I make sure my cousins find out for me before I make a commiment to purchase items overseas because they are (Asian)A(J)DM and not USDM.

I hope the seller is aware that we over here are highly interstead in the REAL DEAL mirrors and hopefully resolve the issues and get the correct USDM A34's

Yeah he sent me pushy emails too, which triggered red flags. Its a shame you guys had to pay hard earned money and now may have to struggle to get it back. Keep us all posted.

These guys are in California, and they are dealing with Japanese dealer. I'm very surprise they are so naive to make such a big mistake, only tells me these people in Cal did not do their homework.
He insists that that these mirrors are sent all over the US and they know shops who install them. he even mentioned a place here in Queens NY on woodhaven Blvd that installs them all the time. I don't get it. I'm going to have to take a ride over there and talk to these people.

Im in Berkeley every other day.. Where is this dude located?? I would like a set of these for my I35 (if available), but hate to see you guys having this much difficulty with a very common mirror design which is clearly different than the crap being shipped out.

excatly why im so skeptical about this ebay ad.

If the seller is smart he would realized there is a market for these once corrected.

I hope he does resolve this issue.

man this thread has been getting on my nerves everytime i've seen it on the front page since it started.

this is just another example of ebay crap being sold using buzz words.
1) theres no such thing as a jdm maxima.
2) whats vip about it?


you 6g guys need to do it right and buy the mercedes replica blinkers and have them molded into the oem mirrors. mirror covers are ftl anyway.

np. for the record this is what i'm talking about (~$30):



you guys seem to have a real nice mirror shape for them as well. a little fg, a little filler, a little paint, and you've got yourself a much nicer "jdm vip" mirror.

yeah. but like ankit said, its not cheap. but when you consider $200+ for cheap color matched covers $300-400 doesn't sound that bad imo. would be a nice diy project if you're familiar with fg/body work.

Hey bud,

My buddy had an 04 Fairlady and his brother has the 6th gen (07 I think)..Some guy pulled a hit and run at Lowes on this guy (side of 350z was damaged badly) the guy backed into him with a truck. Long story short, since he had to fix it up, he decided to get a new pair of mirrors and his brother ended up getting a pair as well for the 6th gen.

Now, I know that his brother was working on getting this done about a month ago. Last I spoke to both of them, Steve (6th gen guy) said that seems like it should not be a problem..

I will check in and PM you with the response once I find out for sure dude

i'm sure you could have got the labor for less than $400 if you shopped around, maybe not though depending on your area. you also could have saved some money buying the replicas, but i probably would have done the same thing and gone oem (btw 54*2=108 ).

just putting out an option for you guys. i don't spend too much time in the 6g forums so i don't know what kind of money you guys are putting into your cars. i know the 4g guys have gotten progressively cheaper over the years.

This place is situated right on the corner of Atlantic ave and Rockway Blvd.

Ok, stopped by the shop in woodhaven, spoke to Rick. he confirms that the covers do not fit on a 6th generation. he pulls out the light system and integrates it with the existing ones. he cuts the existing nissan covers. he said if I was interested he would do it for 150. I told him thanks but no way right now.

so in other words we got screwed.

The sale on ebay is false. I have written proof from two of these people that they state it does, which is false.

Time to get a full refund. I'm pissed.
