My car has to go back to the body shop and they are re doing the doors. I was thinking of of having the stock mirror holes filed and installing in the same spot retro looking chrome mirrors. My rims have polished lips, and I think the chrome mirrors will look great. Could some one who is good at photo shop try posting something for Me? I have 1 week to decide. I have seen the retro mirrors on the front fenders but I think that is a bit to much. The car is a midnight blue metillic

 

Gordon, I was even going to go for a more dated look with the small manual adj. round mirror. What do you think that would be too much?The body lines of the car are so nice I dont want any side skirts but it needs something. I also went with your sugestion and ordered a set of chrome Voodoo shift and ebrake handles. I also picked up a neat retro chrome rear view mirror that I think will go perfect with the Voodoo items and the chrome sills.

Your car looks great inside and out.

 

I say go for it if your game. Besides I would love to see the pics.

 

I think you're running the risk of your modern-curves Rex sporting clashing era accessories. Sort of like a panasonic raver-light stereo in a '58 Impala... sure it looks nice up close but just looks wrong in the big picture.

Remember those Beetle Type2's in the 70's that people mounted fibreglas replicas of Rolls-Royce hoods on?

 

I've seen gordon's car in person and I think the Z8 mirrors look terrific-which they should considering the price! The Z8 mirrors look timeless, not retro imo. I don't think a boxy or externally jointed MG style setup would look as good.

 

I think it looks ugly.

 

East Bear makes an aero mirror kit that replace the stock door mirror (ugly) and comes with all fittings to plug up the hole. I checked it out here:

I have 2 days left before it is too late and then the mirror holes cant be filled. I have found 2 diff. mirrors. They are both chrome, both are manual adj, one set is a smaller round one and the other has the same mount with a slightly bigger rectangular mirror. I think I will pay the extra and get them filled. Gordon, I will mount the mirrors with tape and post some pics, if it sucks i will just get the stockers chromed. My car looks like the Batmobile already and everyones cars are looking the same with side skirts and body kits, I guess it wont hurt to try. I will post some pics on Mon. or Tues.
