The Vitaloni mirrors come in several shapes and sizes that are suitable for the 914. They don't make all the models anymore, the last set of Flag type Vitaloni mirrors I had on the car were around $25 each. Do a search
Here's a pic I have of two type--The top set I had on the car, the bottom are still new in the box and unused . PM me if you are interested in the bottom set. Attached image(s) |

One of my favorite mirrors. Saw these on Retrotechs 914 in Portland at the WCC 06.

I have the California mirrors by the same Vitaloni ... Can't see out of them at all...
They do look cool though. Thats why I put a Wink mirror in my car. |

I like the mirrors off of the Mazda RX - 7 and Miata. You can see some photos here http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=69623&hl= I may put a set on my car.

80s Ford Esort mirrors, look like 911s, the only drawback is they are electric and they are about $5 each.
