This car needs black mirrors. When I got it it had black flag mirrors on it. They are really big. I don't care for the size. I'm looking for another option that I can bolt in the factory location and use the factory holes. I spent a lot of time working these doors and welding up the big holes that were drilled in the door tops for the flag mirrors.

I have a couple sets of factory mirrors. I wouldn't try to paint them. They would surely chip. I thought about having a set powder coated. Anyone have any success with that?

I still like the Vitaloni baby turbo mirrors. Quick and easy to install and there black.

Those are like what are on mine now, which is why I refuse to post pictures of my car. And I have yet to find a good adjustment for them that provide any useable rearward vision. They are the mullet of rearview mirrors…

Mirrors are like seats, I am never totally happy with them and want to try something different. Regarding the baby turbo mirrors, I remember drilling out the sides to make them lay flat better for better visibility.
However that was a long time ago. I have had 964/993 aero mirrors on my car for years. I am still debating if I am happy with them. Same with the seats. I am currently using a GTS Leather Lemans seats. Nice quality but kind of tight and hard to get in and out of.
