The mazda RX-8 mirrors are amazing on a fiero !

i am putting them on my choptop and i saw them today (sorry no pics, wasn't expecting the visit at work) on a fellow Central Florida Fiero members choptop and they are completly sick !

They stick out and give the car a more exotic look at a fraction of the price of the real exotic ones.

I will get to take some pictures of my friend's choptop at the meeting on thursday so you can get to see them.

Dean has made up a set of brackets for my mirrors so maybe you will be able to either buy some from him or see how they were done when he posts some pics of my car pretty soon.

Thanks again Dean! Excellent JOB!

Remove the doors.



Cut this section out from both doors.



Weld on the brackets Dean makes.







Trim this part of the doorskin to make room for mirror base.


Installed.

I purchase a set of F550 mirrors on Ebay. The F550 are a bit different compared to the F360. The only difference I can tell is the base. The base is shorter than the F360. Still, a good deal and I was the only person bidding on them (which is a good thing).






My conclusion is that they mirror will be in by at least 1".

Can you take a straight on pic of the mirror from the front of the car and rear? I like to see the profile and how many inches compared to stock does the Chevy mirror sticks out?

F308 and F430 mirrors were used as replacements for the original Vitaloni power mirrors.

I like the M-3 style mirrors.
I`m going to compare the triangular piece on my son`s 3-series BMW this week to see how close it is to the Fiero.


Speaking of mirrors Marine1981 and I scored some rear view interior mirrors from a yard off of Cadillacs with the auto darkening and compass.
I just mounted mine on the stock metal piece that my old mirror came off of.
The mirrors have about 5 wires but you only need two of them and it makes it great to not have to be flipping your mirror down all of the time.
I know, even when someone only has their regular beams on the Fiero sits so low their lights shine right in my eyes.

I got these same exact mirrors in the mail. They are pure garbage and I regret spending the money on them. I guess I get what I paid for them. I'll just have to make it work. Just drop me a PM and LMk how yours work out just in case I hit a brick wall wih them.
