Re: custom etched mirrors

we can get those ones to...

the manufacturer wanted to remain anonymous for various reasons. but i can tell you they are one of the very few companies that make oem replacements of these mirrors.. all the etching is done custom and we can make them say pretty much whatever u want. cost would go up depends on how hard it is to program and design

Re: custom etched mirrors

I would love a pair that said "Objects in mirror are losing", I heard that idea a while ago and never found any. Yeah, how much would the price range be? Also would they have an adhesive back to stick on the original mirror or how would you install them??

Re: custom etched mirrors

I like "Objects are slower than they may appear" and the guys idea on a little something in the corner on an interior mirror is a very nice idea too. But any word on a price yet? I think theres definatly enough interest here for them.

Re: custom etched mirrors

Not a fan of the font, I'd prefer the original font in the example pics, but it's cool to see one of these actually on one of our cars. Good choice of words!
