Didn't the Black Pearl 280Zs have dual side-view mirrors?

I recently cracked my stock side-view mirror. Argh! Naturally, the car does not have a passenger-side mirror. I would like to get two new stock side-view mirrors for my car -- and I assume the Black Pearl mirrors are the only way to go.

Is this a pipe dream?

The actual metal ones from Nissan (99990-00113) would be a pipe dream. But, if by chance you find 2 sets, let me know:)

Metal ones from Nissan? Were these stock mirrors used on 280Zs? I'm curious, I don't think I've ever heard of those.

BTW, how hard is it getting to find stock 280Z mirrors?

I might be getting new mirrors in a week or so. If i do ill have a 280z drivers mirror just sitting around. Ill let you know if you are interested.

Yes, I am interested. Thank you for offering.

280z's only had the one mirror, on the drivers side. You can still find those. The metal ones were part of the SAP on the 77 Zzzap and 78 Black Pearl. They were actually available from Nissan at one time.

I believe I know where there is a matched set of original black Pearl mirrors...I'll check tomorrow.

Will

My 75 280 has both mirrors and from what I can tell they are the same as a black pearl only not the metal ones. I am going to change them so if some one wants them let me know. I will get some pics tomorrow.

Here are the ones I have on mine, they came with the car in 1976, dealer installed, I painted them the match the car.

I had to replace them 20 years ago because the mirror lost its shine. I found some used ones 5 years ago in Arizona on the internet. Then they were hard to find 5 years ago, don't know about now.

I liked the look then and even better now.

Thats the same ones I have - originally black. I like them but mine loosen with vibration and have to be torqued from time to time. I suspect there is no backing plate.

Here is a repair process for those mirrors.

Thanks for the pics.

I was assuming that the passenger-side mirrors were, um, mirrored replicas of the stock plastic one-piece mirror on the driver's side, but your pictures proved me wrong.

It's a shame Nissan didn't make those, they're really quite good-looking mirrors.
