My passenger side mirror on my GTR is showing some significant cracks in the gel coat. Does this mean that I will be waving goodbye to it very soon? I mentioned it to the factory, apparently some cracking can occur but it should be ok?! Basically I think it suffers from lack of support and will always be prone to some high stresses and as is apparent subsequent failure.
