Mirror Options... what is there?
 

I hate my mirrors, these flag mirrors are huge and obnoxious and will be going by the wayside as soon as the car goes into paint. But I need to have some kind idea of what will be going on the car so I can plan for it... I want something more classic and race inspired... Here's what I have now... what do you guys run?

Vitaloni Sebring is all the rage :cool: - a long thread on folks doing this mod.

Uses your stock flag mirror base.

I am planning to use 935 mirrors on my 930 build. more than the vitaloni but no where near the cost of ^^^^^^^

Note that the Sebrings can be used in conjunction with the later model Porsche "aero" mirror bases. I think it works better, aestheticially, than the flag mirror bases.

I have some Porsche aero mirrors.
PM for details

I am fitting these on a car now...

993 mirrors are nice - They may fit the same mounting holes?

Since you are painting your car that opens up a lot of options. The problem with Flag mirror removal is that there are 4 relatively large holes in the door once the mirror is removed.

You'll have to weld in a piece(s) to fill those holes, but then you can start really putting anything on there you like.

Some of my personal favorites are:

I like the early metal flag mirrors too:

If you're going RSR with no black trim, I would go 993. There are also a few "classic" mirrors that will cover the holes. This guy used them for his fully reversible bolt-on backdate:

I think the early all-metal flag mirrors don't bother me as much....

Ive got a set of early Trans AM mirrors that I almost went with on my RSR tribute project. Ultimately did Vitaloni Sebrings. PM me if you are interested. I would sell them $40.

Completely agree.

Show me what you've got!

I am away from the garage at the moment, so these 2 pics are the only ones on my phone. I still dig these things. They are all metal and the driver's side still has a functioning cable-driven joystick adjuster you could mount inside the car if you REALLY wanted to get "ratty". Haven't weighed them, but pretty sure they are less than the flags. Passenger side glass is cracked ($12 to replace) and would need a small bit of metal to support the base. The driver side has a complete base you could use it for a template. Probably 15 minutes of fab work. Shipping to Cincy would not be too bad from Charlotte (the REAL Queen City). :eek:

For reference, Summit sells the new driver's side only for $149. YIKES!

How about these Ruf mirrors?
You could use 2 but you really only need one.

Those are the ones I like. There may be other manufacturers around who make them as that look has been around for a while.

Where I live I need two as we pass on both sides in this country LOL

Use a Vitaloni convex mirror lens on the passenger side 935 mirror for a better rear view.

was it Raul Julia in cannon ball run that tore off the mirror and declares "what is behind me is not important"?:D
