I’m in the final stages of my restoration I’m at the point whether I need to decide whether I want one or two door mirrors.. What’s the consensus out there? Mirrors will be stuck in appearance.

Some of us suffer from symmetry OCD, so no thought required.

For me i think appearance is a bigger factor. Go look at a 914 with a single mirror, granted its not as bad as the late 70s 911s with a single mirror it still feels pretty lopsided to me. I dont like my brain being thrown off balance every time i look at my car. |
