Hey guys the car goes back into the bodyman in the spring for a color change and some changes (I'm never happy I guess )
Anyway, below are some crappy pics and I need to ask for your opinions. I saw a car with mirrors like the ones below and he had them up on the pillar. Where should I mount them? Attached image(s) |

Good question Cole. I saw these things on ebay and I had to have them. I'm going to paint them to match the car "Viper Red". I'm at the point of entertaining these mirrors. Damn there are just too many options. Plus I have been rethinking having Chevy / Pontiac mirrors on my car. I'm soooo confused.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I was looking at the mirrors on a Ferrari F40. I know...What business do I have looking at the enemy's car designs? I dunno...seemed like a open minded thing at the moment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I like you current mirrors better too, but that's just MHO
if you mount them on the windshield frame, make sure you can still fully open your doors (the triangle glass may hit your mirror) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If you must mount those things (two times atrocious now...) I vote for the windshield frame. But then will you have a big nasty spot where your old mirrors were? Cole |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Just click on the lil link at the bottom of my personal quote for life. I have to keep thinking on these ugly mirrors....one parts agrees with you guys on what the hell am I thinking and the other part says. I can't see out of the current mirrors for crap, but I want something functional and stylish. Worst than a woman shopping for shoes huh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Of course the 007 glasses would do the trick ! |

No offense. I like your 914. Show us more of it without that mirror.
The subject mirror: Sour apple for a red delicious? Yuck Bet all 914 ladies may look like this if they see themselves in that mirror. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) My car has big rubber monstrosities like those for mirrors (sorry no pics, i'm at work) and they do not look nice. What you have now is much more aesthetically appealing. I can't see too well out of my side mirrors either, just enough to know if a car is there or not. |

You guys may be right. Maybe I should just keep what I have.

My $.02 on mirror location...
Mount them in the stock locations. Visibility is most important, and that's where it's best. (Also happens to look best IMO.) Outside the practical visibility thing, it's all opinion and personal taste. I kinda like your new mirrors, although the corrugated boots are a bit much. As to alternate locations... Mounting them on the windshield pillar seems kind of late 80s ricer style to me. I saw a 914 with mirrors high on the windshield frame once, and it looked really stupid. Didn't fit the car at all. Your car is unique and you should do what you like. |

Wow. Thanks for the Back to the Future Link.
With the 914 mod taste you presented, asking the mirror quiz was a joke. Never follow anyone's 914 dreams but your own. Excellent is not just a word. It is your talent and your 914. Salute.
