Fender mirrors installed! [PICS]
I finally got my christmas presents installed on tuesday!
Bought them on ebay, I believe they were originally for a Datsun B210.
Easy installation:
1) Do the measurements and figure out where you want them
2)Pull the fender liners, and drill your holes
3)Install, and tighten down using locktite.
I tried to go with the stock mounting area of where I thought they should go.
They also came with a metal plate to brace the fender for the backside, and I actually think they work better than my stock mirrors.
Plus, I think they look better than the bullet-style fender mirrors on the green savannah.

Like headlight covers, I find fender mirrors hawt. OP, yours are fantastic.
I want opinions, how do you all think these would look on a black turbo FB with flares and coil-overs (aka: aggressive looking car)

Interesting. I'd make sure to seal up the metal where you cut into the fenders. Those holes could rust very easily, ruining your work and possibly costing you a mirror or two from rust. Do my eyes deceive me, or did you mount them slightly forward of the top of the wheel well? May I ask why you choose that particular location and not directly over the wheel wells?

I chose that location, because i was judging off that picture of the green SA [in my first post], where they are mounted just forward of the top of the fender wells. And before drilling, I wanted to see if that location would work for where they were still practical, and the location works really well.
It shouldn't be too big of an issue, they don't stick out any further than the stock mirrors I had on the doors. I did measurements. Appreciate the concern though.

Think you can measure distance from light lid to the mirror. Along the crack of the hood. I love the distance you chose to install yours.
