But Ugly Mirrors

I hat my mirrors, they are way over sized and in my opinion just plain but ugly. Anyone know of a smaller, lower mounted mirror, maybe off another Toyota car that would adapt to the FRS?

I don't know how you feel about carbon fiber (you can always paint it) but these are nice and small.

If you are the DIY type you can do your own race mirrors for a little more than half the cost of APR with Nylon housing race mirrors. Will need to custom fab the door plate though.

I've bought actual GT race mirrors and painted the same as my TRD aero garnish vents, just need to fabricate the door mounting plates for them. These are the ones I purchased:
