If 10" is okay then 2 1/2" more can't be that bad. It's going all the way in baby, hehe.  
At 12.5" you'd could hurt somebody's with that!

I kept looking at them as if it were my eyes, but no they are just tiny.

I have the same mirrors and thought they where to small also. That's why I was asking madcurl to measure his. Glad I didn't put them on yet. I'll keep the stock ones for now until I can find something else.

I would have never thought that I would get so much feed back on mirrors.
now I will have to come up with something very cool that no one has done yet.
challange! I like it.
thanks for all the feedback I will let you all know when I come up with somthing.
on a side note I never knew just how low my car was till my wife parked her car next to it last night. the top of the Fiero only comes to the mirror on her 03 Olds Alero
about 18" shorter.
it looks great!

Make sure you check them like you're Home Land Security and test fit them prior to mounting the tires.

trust me I will look over every inch of the wheels and test fit them before I get the tires mounted also.
Ok so yesterday I was able to get out of work a little early so I went to a friends junk yard to look around for mirrors and other things.
I found a set that showed a little promise. a Chrysler cirrus. I bought both power mirrors for 10 bucks. they are big and bulky but I can work with them.
I got home and started cutting, trimming and fitting. I spent about an hour on the mirror getting it where I wanted it. I had to cut the top off of it so I glassed over the top to
rework it back together. the mirrors are plastic so what I am doing is getting them where I want them and then I will take them to a friend's shop and have him pull molds to make me a new set in fiberglass. when I got done with it I was very happy with the outcome. I could not find mirrors I liked so I raised the bar and made them!
they are still not done but close. they stick out 8" and there will be plenty of mirror to see. I love the sweep back look to them and with them being chopped like the car they just seam to fit.
here are son pic's from yesterday.
from this,
to this!
and just something else I found at the junk yard.

Looks sharp!  Sounds like alot of work to modify those mirrors. How many hours did take to complete them?
|
|
it is a lot of work but not that bad I spent an hour on the pass side and the drivers side will go faster now that I know what to do.
sometimes it is a pain in the butt to make something cool!
