Nangyari din sa friend ko yan. Pero sa pinaka car dealer na din sya bumili nung replacement. Mas mura na daw ata ngayon yun compared before.

Accdg to him, pag bumili sya dun sa mga bagsakan ng mga nakaw na side mirrors, parang ini encourage lang din yung kawatan na yan na magnakaw ulit. Hence, chicken and egg story.

x2 on this; its not too expensive to buy from a dealer AFAIK. I remember someone who lost his Nissan center cap and it was even cheaper in the dealer then in Banawe (kapatid ata ni Otep if i recall correctly).

My cousin lost his Patrol mirrors with the signal indicator and he got a replacement set from a third part seller/importer at a reasonable price.

Our Ford Expedition with etched mirrors was also victimized. That's why we had it fitted with theft deterrent mirror guards. Not fool proof but at least the thief will think twice.

Our Expedition was parked in between a Pajero and Land Cruiser fitted with mirror guards so I guess that's why the thief went for the Exped.

Bad trip, even the 'surplus' Banawe mirrors are expensive.

Sorry to hear that sir. Maybe masmakabubuti kung papakabit kayo sensitive na alarm. I was wondering paano paetch yung plate number sa side mirror?

My monty's side mirrors are also etched (Perfectly done at BB Araneta) but when it rains, dun ako kinakabahan because hindi visible eh. Also, i never retract my side mirrors when parked outside para mas kita nila

Hanggang ngayon di ko pa nabibilahan, wala daw stocks ng toyota ( pasong tamo at bicutan pa lang yung napagtatanungan ko).

Calamba Laguna area namin.

Saan kaya nako-contact iyang mga d*muho na iyan...

Puwede silang gumimik dito sa loob ng subdivision namin... Puro nakahambalang ang mga sasakyan ng mga kapitbahay namin sa kalye at magandang leksyon para tumino ang mga ito kung titirahin ang kanilang mga sidemirrors...

Kasi, gagawa ng bahay na may garahe for 2/max of 3(hindi pa pupunuin ang garahe ng sasakyan dahil may tambak na kung anu-ano), tapos, bibili ng 5 or more na sasakyan na ipaparada lang sa kalye ang sobra...

Sana maging konsuelo na ng mga dealer na gawing mura na lang ang replacement lens mirror. Sigurado hihinto mga yan. )

Nakita ko yung process nila.. what they do, particularly in Big Bert's is they make stencil of the plate number. They then stick the stencil on the side mirror then pinapahidan nila ng parang acid type na solution na magpapalabo nung part na yun ng salamin then pinapatuyo. Pagka alis nung stencil, naka lagay na sa side mirror yung plate number mo.
