(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i304.photobucket.com-11380-1487559760.2.jpg) I need a set of side mirrors to mount on the car. When I got the car, the prior owner gave me a set of 911 power mirrors painted to match the car. When I was looking at them today, I decided I don't want to try and mount them - not sure I can get them body lines lined up properly. I thing the stock style mirror is ok, but wanted to know if you had other recommendations. I like these, but don't know where to find them: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/momentcar.com-11380-1487559760.3.jpg) Anyone running this style? I'd like to see it on a car as well: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.sierramadrecollection.com-11380-1487560582.1.jpg) |

Most all here agree that '73 Mustang mirrors complement the car perfectly.

You will regret putting anything but the stock mirrors on, especially if the installation is not reversible! If the car is or will ever want to be "original" I would agree, but what if it is already (or planned) to be other than stock? |

Make an adapter... something so it can be returned to stock without a lot of repair work. Who knows where your tastes may turn in the future? |

Someone already put on a pair of "Baby tornados" which don't stay in place and too darn small. My current plan is late 70's early 80's 911/928 flag mirrors. They are a nice size, they look about right for the car, but they do require some work and cutting to mount. |
