Tempo mirrors can work. You should throw up some pictures of your car.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

i like those mirrors but i like the m3 style with the turn signal in them. ive invested 55k into my car and the mirrors are the only thing left to change but i cant find a model that comes close to our mount angle and position. ill keep checking thanks for any help. i can post pics of the car next week but i will not say where ive had things made due to it being one of a kind and i didnt put all this money into it for someone to have the same parts as me. sorry

Pics would be cool.I'm not one for copying other people's work,but I'm not top secret either.It takes the fun out of showing the car to others.

I always thought the Fox convertible flag style mirrors would look good. A little more "Euro."

ill post pics as soon as the ghost flames are done and the mirrors are modified. im not into the topaz or tempo mirrors but thanks for the help. i guess its just a matter of going to the junk yard and takin a mirror mount with me and finding what kinda car has a close fit. i cant wait to show the car though. its a serious street machine making 700hp
