I personally like my stock ones, maybe get some that look stock but are a little bigger, the mirror size is a little small, but i like the stock ones just fine. If i wanna look behind me that bad ill just turn my head. I dont like how those fender ones look, just doesnt seem right to me.

I want a stock replacement convex passenger mirror. If I ever find one at an auto store I'll buy a half dozen, just in case. I hate not seeing out of my car.....

My mirrors shake and my turn signal doesn't turn off when I turn it on. I think my RX7 was a motorcycle in it's previous life..

(I don't like the fender ones at all- my two cents)

I HATE my passenger side mirror!!!!! I want a convex mirror. I miss reading that "object in mirror is closer that they appear" on my mirror

I have a "wink" mirror, the 5 panel type.

Visibility for the rear is excellent with that mirror.

When my car goes in for body work, it's getting a set of custom "GT" carbon fiber mirrors... It's little stalk, with a CF assembly for the mirror... A lot of guys use them on their open wheel cars, etc...
