I want to replace my mirrors. The PO put some cheap one's on, but I don't care for them.
I have seen some threads about this topic, but what I search through didn't appeal to me much...
Show me what you go and where you got em.....
Thanks

I bought a brand new stock OEM passenger side mirror from a dealership for something like $89 delivered to my door. The pass side mirror works great on the drivers' side. (forgot the name of the dealership, but I got the name from this site, thanks! You should be able to find it with a search if you're interested).
I defy anyone to post a pic of a mirror that even comes close to looking as good as the stock chrome mirror on a 914.

'99 - '04 Mazda Miata power mirrors. I think they look like 911 Aero copies but are more to scale to the 914 body. Got them for 100 bucks with switch:

I bought a pair of Vitalonis on ebay a few weeks ago. Sanded painted and mounted, after all that I didn't care for the way they looked on my car. THey seemed if I had flared fenders, they would have looked great....
Just seemed to big for the car...
I like the one's from the Miata....

my vitalonis. I think they look Ok if they match your paint or other parts of the car. Other wise they can look a little big

If I remember correctly, the post noted they switched to Lexan to do the drilling since it was advised not to try & drill the stock glass. Wish I could remember whose post this was.

I am using chrome Harley Davidson round goose neck mirrors. If this post is still alive, I will try to put a pic later next weekend. They are solid and unmovable which is the point of having mirrors, to see in.
Just went on someone elses idea of motocycle mirros and seemed cool at the time.

Vitolini, californian. I like em, I made a special mount for mine but I think the mounts that come with the mirror would work.

Available from the Pegasus racing catalog. Light, small very adjustable. We have used them on street and track cars.
