Need More Mirrors

I've read opinions both ways on other threads, so figured I'll just have to see for myself.

Kevin - I decided not to install the fender-mounted mirror because I had read they were not real useful. At the encouragement of others I bought the ERA windshield frame-mounted mirror to install instead. But - of course I don't have the car on the road yet.

I have three Raydots with convex mirrors that really give you a good wide view!

Wow! Your car looks fantastic!

Thanks for the comments...........recently changed the wheels to the vintage look and then decided it needed the meat balls and manufacture decals. Very happy the way it turned out!

I think I'm gonna go with the Raydots on each side, and the rectangular mirror on the dash. Those mirrors look good on your car. Are they they brushed or chrome finish?

Hi Dan,

Yes, and there is a thread that discusses changing the flat mirror with a convex mirror where one poster said it helped a lot and another said it's still worthless... That's when I decided I'll just have to give it a try and see.
