Ok, i know my last post was totally pointless, but i think this one will actually work this time.........
The cool thing about having a g/f with a 4g and is always modding it is that i can compare parts she buys for her car to mine.....
She just bought a set of Z3/M3 mirrors for her car. They are the ones with the blinker in the mirror too. The other night, i compared the mount that came with them to the one on my car and its SOOO close. The plastic mount could be modified slightly and it would fit on a 3G. The problem is one corner is a little too long.
My idea was to get my buddy who has a machine shop and does a lot of work with plastic to make me a replacement plastic bracket so it wouldnt look ghetto. I'm sure this could also be done with a router if somebody is competent with one. Just use a 1/4 - 1/2" thick piece of plastic and cut it out to fit. You can get em in either power or manual although i'm not sure how the manual adjustments would work. Maybe they're the same for both gens??
Just something i found that i thought was cool and i thought i'd pass it along.
