[B]Question: Since the mirror/lense area is now so much smaller, are you guy's also planning on using a curved lense to get a wide angle view?[/B]
4wdrift 11-28-2006 08:52 PM

Thanks Skimobile for attempting to artificially inflate the price. Inadvertant or not :rolleyes:

Much of Launsport is produced in Japan where production costs for small operations are astronomical. Those costs are passed onto consumers. I'm sure RavSpec can come in at a much lower price and take much of the market share away from Launsport (the Japanese absolutley love anything made in America, via China :lol:). And besides, we all know that JapanParts.com has a serious markup on all the products they get.

That being said, The mirrors look simply AWESOME Ravpec! 'Bout time someone breathed some new life into this market segment. I hope you can eventually get some other original designs for the Legacy etc.
The more in on the group buy, the lower the final price. :banana:
SubaruDriver502 11-28-2006 09:46 PM

I'm interested....but after christmas. Still paying off the engament ring I bought for my g/f (still got a hundred to pay off), and then I gotta buy another ring for a different girl (another 400 bucks) AND THEN some little presents here and there for other people. GOD I HATE CHRISTMAS!
jtodaro 11-28-2006 10:16 PM

Ok, so what's the bottom line on the following:

Electric (ie.. plug in for our current mirrors)?
Heated ?
Price ?

Heck, if these things stopped my car from giving me the warning whine every time i hit 80+mph I would think that they were worth it :lol:

waiting to finish up the group buy for the 06 lip and then this will go out with the cf grill cover for 06 sti !

imma_stocker 11-30-2006 01:49 PM

Is there any way those of us that want to retain power mirrors can make the factory motor and everything work with your mirrors? Cannabalizing our own mirrors or similar parts from other cars is more than reasonable. I feel simplified directions could REALLY boost your sales.

You know the structure of the mirrors and what can/cannot fit inside. Please figure something out for us lazy people. Or send me some pics of mirrors taken apart so I can figure it out.
RavSpec 11-30-2006 03:01 PM

imma_stocker:

the stock motor kit will not work on this mirror. It's mount on just like the l'aunsport version .. all manual ...
Imprezive_04 11-30-2006 05:21 PM

hot hot hot cant wait
TurboRX 12-06-2006 04:08 PM

when will these mirrors be available and what kind of a price range are we looking at?

RavSpec 12-13-2006 03:09 PM

hey guys:

just a few more days ..... i know i know it's been a while, but we are doing the best and make sure everything is right before we start selling them ..

Been selling in Nasioc for 3 years and one thing we have learned are - best not to sell something or promise something that can't be delivered !
ittybitty_STI 12-13-2006 05:31 PM

im in for the CF style. +1 for a great dealer!
Knightmare69 12-13-2006 05:38 PM

Too bad there isn't a power version. Product looks really great though.
TurboRX 12-13-2006 09:16 PM

can't wait for y'all to get everything figured out so we can hear a price

No CF grill for the 04-05?

Bump for GB info...
LEXWRX555 12-29-2006 11:45 AM

like the grill..

don' t like the mirrors...
Legba 12-30-2006 08:21 PM

Where are these mirrors? I'm starting to think they are just a myth.
frayz 12-30-2006 08:41 PM

Keep us posted on a carbon set of mirrors.. ive very very interested :D

As long as you dont mind sending a set to the UK so they can be used for RHD vehicles :D
RavSpec 12-31-2006 08:27 PM

not a myth !

we are working on a few adjustment and improvement. The original mirror is too weak at the joint point. We are making a revision to it ... In addition, the mirror viewing angle are too limited, we are working on making it wider !!
RavSpec 12-31-2006 08:28 PM

btw, if you are in NYC (LI) area, welcome to stop by and take a look at the first production sample (before modification) !!
frayz 01-01-2007 05:48 AM

Ravspec.. will you ship to the UK for me??
Tbagger 01-01-2007 10:16 PM

can I get a pm for the final price on the CF mirrors???
Tbagger 01-03-2007 08:09 AM

so whats the deal with the mirrors???? Not making them . . ??? I hope you are cause I'll take a set . . .
RavSpec 01-03-2007 10:06 AM

still making them ! Just need some time to resolve a few issues with the mirror ...
Imprezive_04 02-02-2007 08:02 PM

any updates?
TurboRX 02-02-2007 09:42 PM

I'm waiting to buy these. Please give us an estimated price at least.

Man you better get those illegal factory workers hot!!

Stop BS'ing man! :lol:
jmonty 02-24-2007 05:42 PM

PM for price on them?
when will they be ready?
RavSpec 02-26-2007 10:21 AM

no ETA yet, hopefully we can get something done by next month. The real issues is the mirror viewable area are too limited and it's not suitable for street use at all !

For all of those who are waiting, please give us a little more time. We try to produce the mirror so that the general WRX user can use them. If we sell them as is, only the track guys can use it ...
Uncle Ben 02-26-2007 01:03 PM

kudos for you guys taking the time to make a quality [i]functional[/i] product rather than putting out a shiny carbon fiber garbage piece just for the purposes of a cash grab. Can't wait to see the final product!

Why not go w/a convex mirror? I had some WRC style FRP mirrors on my GM8 swap and I thought they were better/more useful than stock mirrors.
nate49509 02-26-2007 09:15 PM

[QUOTE=fireball_jones;15390202]I like the CF ones. But what's the visibility difference... I'm sure the rally car drivers aren't checking them very often :p[/QUOTE]

Blind spots FTL. :(

Convex mirrors sound like the way to go.
RavSpec 03-08-2007 02:04 PM

new sample will be done on March 15 ! We can only use up to 30% convex mirror , if anything more the object will be too hard to see . We are trying to make the entire viewing area bigger by enlarging the outside casing ...

So the final sample will have the same style but larger viewing area !

Can't beleive I've been waiting over 5 months since I first subscribed... Hope and pray they are what I was expecting.
RavSpec 03-22-2007 12:05 PM

got the sample :) it's in a nicer finish now for the fiber glass version ! Anyone locally want to come by to take a look ?
frdawg 03-22-2007 12:28 PM
