The Vitaloni mirrors come in several shapes and sizes that are suitable for the 914. They don't make all the models anymore, the last set of Flag type Vitaloni mirrors I had on the car were around $25 each. Do a search

Here's a pic I have of two type--The top set I had on the car, the bottom are still new in the box and unused . PM me if you are interested in the bottom set.

One of my favorite mirrors. Saw these on Retrotechs 914 in Portland at the WCC 06.

I have the California mirrors by the same Vitaloni ... Can't see out of them at all...

They do look cool though.

Thats why I put a Wink mirror in my car.

I like the mirrors off of the Mazda RX - 7 and Miata. You can see some photos here http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=69623&hl= I may put a set on my car.

I have a full set of the RX7 mirrors, power with the switch if you are interested.

here's what my car came with...
looks like a generic mirror, adapted with a motorbike stem?
soon to be replaced with the original chrome mirrors.

80s Ford Esort mirrors, look like 911s, the only drawback is they are electric and they are about $5 each.
