What is your side mirror preferance?

Alright so I have an 86 and I'm changing the mirrors on it. I just realized how many options I have. So I was just wondering the opinions/preferance people have out of the many choices I don't know what kind of mirrors 4 and 5 are but I thought they look nice:

i believe the third ones are R-magic. those get my vote, but if i had to choose one that is not there, it would be the other style Amemiya ones, not like the ones in the fourth pic.

the OEM folding mirrors look silly.

Makes the car look like it has big, goofy ears...

Considering the price versus "pimpness," S5 aero mirrors are the best...

Thanx for the replies! I really like the 3rd pic and 4th pic but I can't find them... I have a S4TII and a S5 style. I'll probably keep the S5 unless I can find one of the other two (pics 3 and 4)...

I think the folding ones are nice. A very clean stock look. Where do you get those?

#1 and #2 look the best IMO. I'm not big on the solid aero mirriors, like #3 and #4.

Once you've used them you'll never go back. The're larger and have convex mirrors so blind spots are practically eliminated. Remember they're they for a specific reason, and it's not to look pimp...

Well, the S5 mirrors aren't that small... although they would definately be better if they were convex.

The FC wouldn't have such visibility problems if the B pillars weren't so freakishly wide (they're more like walls than pillars, after all).

i thought we had a huge blindspot until i rode in a newer camaro, their B pillar blocks the view alot more. i actually think our cars have great visibility between all 3 mirrors.

got nr 3 myself, found them on e-bay after a long and heavy period of searching!
i believe they are the nicest mirrors for the FC, but i do think they look at their best with an aerokit



didn't bother trying to find power mirrors, nobody else is driving in my car, so no reason to adjust the mirrors...
