since you all know I'm putting 935 mirrors on my car, and may need to do a sort of mirror housing like newer cars have... any ideas about this issue?
here is a pic on what i mean (IMG:http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/8337/mirr5va.jpg) |

it'll look kinda cheezy because you can see the adhesive from the inside....
maybe mount it to the top of the door at an angle...... |

Aaron's right, but you could put in a trim piece on the inside to cover that.
Just an alternative. |

im looking at something that will cover both sides.. so let say the top of the mirror to go on the back side of the window, so you dont see inside the mirror.. I will screw it to the top of the door, just further than the old ones on there right now... |

I'm doing wink mirrors on my car. No sides.
You have an almost full view, anyway. And then there isn't anything on the sides to deal with. Extra drag anyway. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

....trying to hit 80?!?
At sea level, that really shouldn't be hard. It's the rev limit in 5th that's hard. Mirrors won't really make a difference until 150+ anyway. And you'll need a 6 for that. I'm just doing no mirrors because I'm a sucker for smooth sides. To each his own, I suppose. |

Haha. I know. To each his own. Right?
It'll really fit in with the 916 front bumpers. |

You do know you cant see scheiss out of 935 mirrors!!...
935s are so fast that they didnt worry about being passed... (well not really) BUT 935 mirrors SUCK!!!! you can make them work by buying some convex "objects appear closer" glass and cutting it to fit the 935 frame... BTDT |

935 outside mirrors were just there to get around a rule requiring outside mirrors. I don't personally care to see behind me. It's up to the other guy to pass me. I'll worry about passing the guy in front of me.
Where do you buy raw convex glass? |

Chris you're almost as tough on Christopher as everybody who jumped on that guy who was trying to make Ti connecting rods. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) I guess what goes around comes around.
He said he's doing it for the looks. 914 mirrors aren't great to begin with so it's not really like he's taking a step backwards. I say pick up a set and see how they attach. You'd probably be best to make some fiberglass pieces to cover up the attachment between the mirror and the glass. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

I'm not trying to be hard on him.
He's doing things differently. I'm a big advocate of the "914x" project. But what is Cristopher planning on doing for the dash, and interior trim? That would be helpful if all he needs is an opinion on the trim piece on the interior. |

I'm glad you have a thick skin. I just had to call out the irony.
