If you end up manufacturing that "Crawler" sign me up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Might be good for scooting under cars to work on them too!
BTW, if you like Enter the machine you might want to give Phutureprimitive a try too. |

Since I am doing so much to update the the cars looks I couldn't just use the stock mirrors. There are a lot of choices out there but i finally settled on 2006 Pontiac Solstice mirrors, they are quite a bit smaller (and cheaper!) than the Porsche Aero mirrors and I think they fit the cars style pretty well. I couldn't remember where I saw a cool set of rear-view mirrors...and remembered this thread! Just ordered a set for my new build. Holy crap are they cheap! $85 a set on eBay. Made sure I got the "Manual" set so I didn't have a bunch of motor-stuff to tear out. Just thought it was worth mentioning that this thread helped me. |

I'll find out and let you know in about a week. ;-)
I WILL be buying another set of Miata sun-visors though. That was a good upgrade on my last 914. |

Wonder if the Solstice mirrors fit in the stock location? Here is a shot of how they fit, not an easy bolt on but not hard either, you need to re-contour the base of them to match the curvature of the door and drill 3 pretty huge holes. You can see the stock bolt holes in the door for reference. Glad I could help Tripps! |

I dug into this a few days ago and fear that I REALLY messed up the angle on the passenger window. I was clearly using the wrong tools. I think this would be easier with a belt-sander where I could use the rounded end to keep it more consistent.
I put the brakes on it for a few days until I can get the right tools. I love the look of them, and think they'd be a great replacement. I've got time before I need to have them mocked up. I'm also going to add arrow LEDs behind the glass, so (luckily) I got the glass off in one piece. Attached thumbnail(s) |

BRZ/FR-S/ft86 mirrors also look like they would be a nice fit:

Here's the plan: Tub up restoration/customization (no cutting corners here). Speedster styling. 40" tall Under 1800 pounds. 320 horsepower WRX engine. Let the games begin! Man, I really miss this thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Hey Dana, if you're still subscribed, check in and say hi.

IIRC, I read on one of the Suby forums that it was in another garage or hands presently. I'll see if I can locate that thread to confirm.
