NVM I found it. But just FYI the fierostore doesn't let you direct link, you have to right click, hit properties, and copy that link.

Love the K40
, although if you already have a custom exterior, I'd consider getting them "stealth" flush mounted. While you're at it, you could get Laser diffusers flush mounted. IIRC Laser diffusers have to be 12"-18" away from anything reflective, i.e. front license plate, headlamps.

Any reason you didn't go with the GT Factory 90 degree hinges?

I wanted to go with something that has been proven to work, The only GT factory install I know of has issues with the the door staying up if the car is not level. Plus a true 90 degree door would hit a IMSA front end, the fenders stick out too far.

Is this the same hinge Curly is using? This door kit seem to open up more.

No problem. I think "Archie and the Crew" are really enjoying the moment in installing real Ferrari F430 mirrors for the first time on a Fiero non replica car. Just goes to prove, you don't need a replica; just tweak your current Fiero using modern parts.

Ferrari owners now can now be proud to see their mirrors in a Fiero
Hopefully you use them more to see them behind than the other way around.
On another note, when will we have the pleasure to see this baby painted? Aren't you tired of that white?

the 'F430' labeling doesnt make sense to me...., the number is a reference to the donor car engine displacement (in litres)....in your case it should be 383cui= 6,3 litres (rounded off).

Nice. I've seen those too on sale on Ebay. Hey Old Lar, do the mirrors flex?
