David, I cut it myself with a pattern I made. Took it to an upholstery guy to bind the edges. I marked my material to layout the diamonds. I then had the upholstery guy follow my layout and stitch the pattern into the material. Hope this helps. |

Did you ever finish the bumperettes that you were making in post #87? They looked cool. I made this set for my car, which is sort of the inverse of what you are doing. I made them by sectioning the originals, then fabbing the stainless spacer. They came out pretty nice, but in the end I decided to leave them off. Maybe I'll put them on my upcoming targa build, which will be named Indica. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1552607419.jpg |

madcorgi... I got off onto other things and haven't fooled with them any farther. I am of the mindset that I like them off. I haven't abandoned the idea tho. I actually prefer what you did with yours.... For now they are on the "I'll get to it eventually" list. |
Well I've finished a big project. The mirrors are installed. So long flag mirrors..... The transformation is my take on a singer styled mirror. Using a Talbot styled mirror on
a custom short billet arm (drilled of course). The arm is attached to a triangular aluminum plate that attaches to the 1/4 glass. Powder coated finish. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1553035260.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1553035260.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1553035260.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1553035260.jpg Thank you Magnus for the inspiration to use your shield decals in a unique way. They are mounted on .3 mm lexan. Then affixed to the car. Dual purpose. They look cool and hide the flag mirror holes for now. |

Nice to see another vision, but since you posted I have to say I dislike the wheels, dislike the headlight rings not matching the car, and after trying to use the Vitaloni mirrors and seeing how useless they were, not a fan of those either. Car looks great otherwise!

Mirrors look awesome Steve.
Did you have to drill the glass and mount through them or how exactly are they attached? |
So many great white 911's on this site :) The DIY contest has brought many of them to my attention and I'm adding subscriptions like crazy!
Your car looks great! Keep up the great details. |

Scott, They are attached with that triangular bracket. Two of the edges are curved to grab the glass. I additionally used 3M's best tape with primer. They aren't going anywhere.... They are also really light compared to the flags....... |
How is the visibility out of them? Pretty functional or a matter of looks over functionality? I have been known to do both. haha

Both...... Driver side function is great. Passenger side is good but not great. I am going to change out the glass on that side. |

I really like the looks of what you have done, AG, but I think I'll want bigger mirror on my car. As an old racer, I like to see as much as I can (though I had some competitors who said I had no mirrors at all.) I had small mirrors on my '87 and didn't like them. Planning to replace my flags on the '85 with aero mirrors, if I can find a set at a decent price, preferably in white. Since there are so many white cars here. |

Got the motor mounts replaced and the Tranny mounts too. Went with the Wevo product line.
Both went in without any struggle at all. I don't understand the pissing and moaning I have read about on this forum regarding installation. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1554414892.JPG |
