Well you asked for some inputs, so here's my 2 cents worth.
Of all the mirror choices you've shown, I'd go with the 355's. "HOWEVER", I'm really not crazy about any of the candidates because I think they stick out way too far. I'd prefer something that hugs the side more, and sweeps back.
But that's a matter of taste, and I'm not the guy who has to be pleased with the results.
Just my input.

At first I felt the same way (they stick out to far) and I did not want to part with my stock mirrors ( still my favorite ). That all changed when I drove my car over the summer and all I could see out of 2/3 of my mirrors was IMSA hips. That plus Curly in the back ground made me go with the F430s

HI all 
Great build thread!! You have some nice custom touches to bring out your own personality, I like that in a customizer,  ...... As far as your mirrors, I have to agree with some others, and say F430... Then the F355... Any chance you could photoshop F348 mirrors... There a lil bit more flat that the other two Fcar mirrors, but they are what I am thinking of using on a widebody idea of my own.... Haha, I am a tried and true Red Head, aka ferrari fan, so I am a little biased when it comes to the mirrors..... The diablo mirrors look good, I just think that if you could shorten the width a little bit they might look better......
You know how on some new trucks they have that extendo feature for the mirrors for when hauling trailers? They diablo mirros remind me of that... Not to sound cruel or anything...... And about the kitcar situation, no, I am not building a diablo, I do however fight with myself over what kinda project to take on right now though... I am in school and cannot afford to jump into one right now, and that makes it much worse!! LOL........ I just don't know what to do, an F355, my dream car, or a custom IMSA fiero... HAha, already have said more than I should've, after all its YOUR thread,

Actually I have a Photo chop I did at the office early today reducing the size of the Diablo mirrors. The advantage of getting the fiberglass Diablo mirrors I could have them reduced a few inches here and there. So far I like the:
1.- Diablo
2.- F355
Do you know who is making the F348 mirrors? I did notice they are a bit more square.

F348
pavo_roddy, I think you hit the hammer on the nail... (Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em!) 
Feedback please. I'm sure you can all tell with all the mirror tests that I'm very ANAL!

Just got off the phone with Ferrari of Central Florida. Each mirror for the F348 is USD $3600! Man thats about 3x times the price of the F355 & F430 mirrors! Those Italians must be smoking something strong!

HI all
WOW!!! They do look fantastic on there, though I have to admid that I thought they would due to the mirrors being angled up like the F430.... As far as the price, I am very sorry to hear that, VERY sorry!! Had NO idea that they would be that xspensive!! Check your pm's too! Maybe you might get a deal from that place, or maybe not, like I said b4, i've never done business with them at all....
Hmmm, are you a member of Fchat? http://www.ferrarichat/forum/ Maybe you could source a better price from a used car or something? If you haven't been there, then PLEASE do not tell them it is for a custom car, esp. a fiero.... Most people there HATE kits, replicas or whatever!! Although, HAHAHA, I did ask them why they appreciate replicas of say the Ferrari P4 and not a 355.... Noone would give a straight answer at all!!   ------------------
