Yung frame is plastic, and they use epoxy to attach it. Medyo liliit yung viewing area nung side mirror, and hindi body color unless itim yung auto mo. Of course you can have it painted din pero additional gastos na naman yun.
Mahirap talaga yang sidemirror. Yung lancer singkit ko before I sold it, was on it's 7th set of side mirrors na. Sobrang talamak sa'min, palibhasa protektado ng isang baranggay official. Nung nasipa sya, ayun huminto naman.
Anyway, best bet talaga is pa-etch yung plate number. Hopefully makita ng magnanakaw bago matanggal para di na kunin.
