Side Mirrors

Hey, just wondering how well the stock side mirrors off the FD stay on?
They're mirrors on a little small shaft that hold it to the doors, I feel like its begging for some kid to come and knock it off with a baseball bat, like those mailboxes in the movies. and well.. real life too. =DD

I've been to 175mph with my stock mirrors and they were fine. If a kid hits your mirror with a ball bat then I would imagine the mirror would shatter and the paint on the housing would get messed up. My advice, keep it away from dumb kids.

I've had one knocked off due to vandalism. I just used epoxy to stick it back on. It's been fine for the last couple of years.

Epoxy, works on everything. I am just a little scared of that happening, but I don't know when i can afford to get some other ones, knightsports one looks pretty good, but pretty expensive.
