So was thinking the other night that i'd like to have a matching pair of exterior mirrors. However i don't like the stock items the way they hang in a droopy fashion looks odd, IMO

So sat down, drank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) & played with the internet for a while. Dranks some more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) fell over...
Next day fell off the chair (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) & thought of this.

Remove the stock glass for the side triangle, replace with lexan. Install some of those svelte carbon mirrors. (a la www.SPAtechnique.com) Seems to me that would look cool. Mirrors would be in the right place to actually see something. Negates having to drill holes in bodywork. Removes a chunk of weight.

Anyone done this before? How does the triangle of glass come out? What thickenss is the glass?
