Looks like a raydot
a unibit and a little bondo.....

search "mirrors"
but remember it's still a copy and not the real thing.........

SO easy to do...just find where you want to mount the mirrors, mark the holes, pilot drill & drill to full size, then mount the mirror using backing washer plates, bolts, and nuts. Should be doable in an afternoon. The bigger issue is filling the old mirror holes...that'll take some Bondo or something like that to fill.

i believe fm sells the mirror covers made out of aluminum.. you can prolly buy a pair and just screw them in place of the old mirrors

 

[freedomgli]

No, FM doesn't sell such a part but ask Laguna Miata if he'll make you a set.

I saw a guy use hot rod peep mirrors mounted to the edge of his hood... it was pretty slick totally reversable and cheeep. but I bet the vibrations would make them useless as mirrors while moving though.

this kind of style

I know this is a semi-dead thread, but how is the visibility of fender mounted mirrors?

The Miata in question is Adam, president of the Winston-Salem, NC, area club (Triad Miatas). Adam's a super nice guy, just became a dad...

Ok, the mirrors are RayDot's. Somehow he ended up with 2 sets, I got his second (unused) set for a good deal.
Here are a few shots of his car off my Fotki site.

I'll let him know about this thread and see if he can respond.

That black car looks great 8) i bet the mirrors are a PITA to adjust though :wink:

 

[LagunaMiata]

Adam said that once they are set they work fine. One bad thing is when someone bumps into them and you don't realize it until you start driving... no way to adjust them!

 

[Shinobix]

laguna miata, do u have the convex mirros or the flat ? and do they make that much of a difference?

 

[LagunaMiata]

I have the flat ones. Visibility is crap compared to the OEM power mirrors...

I've toyed with this idea too, I absolutely love that Z car look. No, not Nissan, Honda :mrgreen:
