RX7 Fender Mirror Suggestions
 
The Stock mirrors on the FD looks a bit too big and protruding for my liking.
Always a fan of the Re-Amemiya fender mirrors, but they cost a fortune since production has stopped. Im looking for alternative fender mirrors that go well with the car's overall look. :scratch:
My last choice is the F1 type mirrors, until then i would like to see if any other fender mirrors look good on the FD?
Any suggestions or pictures welcome. Thanks in advance. :worship:

If stock mirrors look obtrusive, fender mirrors are twice as bad... they're sitting right in a place they don't naturally belong.

Yeah - fender mirrors are a tough sell. I think they work well on a 240Z because it's a very period specific thing. But by the time the FD came about, fender mirrors were a thing of the past. I *guess* RE-A was kinda able to pull it off - but just a generic CarbingCraft or Craftsquare mirror stuck on the fender might look out of place.

Have you checked out LO7's build? He had some cool options in there.

I understand that it's not everyone cup of tea, but the RE fender mirror look more sleek and goes well with the overall look of the car. The stock mirrors looks protruding if you look at it for sometime LOL (like big ears)
When i asked for suggestions, i wasn't talking of those bullet mirror types.
Something that resembles the RE mirrors. Like the Mazda MX5.

RE-A makes some more sleekly shaped CF mirrors that go in the stock location. It also looks like those Miata mirrors would bolt right on.

No matter what mirror you put on there if you stare at them and think of them as ears it won't be pretty :)
