I lost one of the end caps for my mirrors and this seams like the best option for me. Now they will be better then OEM and safer. Thanks again. _________________ I'm not a mechanic, I just play one on the internet

These are not surface mounted, they under the glass just like an OE or original part.

Just bumping that thread up because I was thinking about doing that mod over winter break.
But it looks like the transparent caps are not available at shapeways any longer? I get an error message trying to follow the link. I'm fairly certain that you could still order them in spring/summer
Does anyone know of an alternative? Either a different website or a different solution all together?
A saw the under the mirror glass version, but I'd prefer the mirror cap placement. _________________ 1989 tin top 2.1l Vanagon GL |

Nice thread bump.
Turn signals at the mirror is an attractive mod. I'd be inclined to install a quality (@tjet?, the link I have isn't working) version of the style below (just grabbed off the internet) to the bottom of the aero mirror (maybe a bit more visibility being 6" farther out?).
Ferd, pls. post pics if you make the mod. _________________ - Jim
