Warning - not a subject for purists.
I have some wobbly flag mirrors the PO put on my 1970 914 and want to swap them out. The stock mirrors are OK, but just look too dated. I started looking at every car on the road and noticed the 2010-2015 Camaro mirrors had a similar mounting angle. I also like the stealth fighter angularity to their shape - much like the 914. They are also running $30 to $50 new! They bolt from the inside, so it means removing the inside door panels, but that's not a huge deal. Thoughts? Anyone else try this or see this yet? Any similar mirrors out there? |

They will probably look extremely big on the 914. The 914 mirror is probably half its size if not smaller.

They will probably look extremely big on the 914. The 914 mirror is probably half its size if not smaller. This is my fear as well. The flags I have now don't stick out very far and the Camaro ones are certainly going to be wider. I've found an aftermarket mirror for the Camaro that looks more like the concept car - very small in the vertical dimension and as wide or wider that the stock Camaro mirrors. There is nothing special about the Camaro - not really my favorite car, but a lot of the smaller sports car mirrors (Mini, Miata, etc.) are more rounded in shape and to me look out of place on the 914. There a a lot of after-market mirrors out there. CraftSquare has some angular ones that look OK. It is hard to visualize without holding one in my hand (or better yet, holding one up to the car), which is why I like getting feedback from the forum too. |
