Fender Mirrors
I have always loved how fender mirrors looked on the old 86's, skylines, and RX-7's. Has anyone seen any on an FRS I'm so curious to see what it looks like

I don't think you would even be able to see them unless you has them sticking up about a foot.

Maybe a small piece of the fender...yes. But to get the mirror in a good spot...probably not.
But I guess my thug life style is too much for this car. Keep the shoe fits shit to yourself.

6'4 and I can see the arches only a bit where they meet the hood. Anything to the outside is blocked by the A-Pillar, which is probably where the OP would put the mirror.

I love them on early Japanese cars too.
But I don't think they'd look right on a modern car. :-(

I saw this car in person at SEMA and I wasn't particularly interested in the position of those mirrors. It's a period-correct homage to their racing heritage, but I don't think it works well.
Overall, I like the Speedhunter's car though! Very cool Nick C.
