Pegasus racing carries them but would you believe they sell them for golf karts on Ebay?

Had one in my 84 GTI and 95 RX-7, now I got to get one for the 06 MCS. Thanks for showing us that it can be done Sid.

I know I've said it before but yours is the Mini I use the most to seek inspiration from for my own.

i like the mirror!!!

But with an interior like that, if you get pulled over, you have no chance in hell of getting away with only a warning

Yup...the TN cop at the Dragon didn't even take a second glance...just wanted my insurance and licence...

Good thing I recently installed a flip switch to shut off my radar because I can't reach it with my harness on...

Very cool. Can you get a shot of what you see from the driver's seat? Put the camera about where your head would be so we can see how effective the mirrors are.

I love your car. That mirror is sick. Was it hard to install? Sorry to hear about the cop. I can't wait until I can make it to a dragon.

I'll take some close ups before the trim plates goes in...you'll see that it's pretty simple...

Hey MSFITOY can you take some detailed pictures? Also, where did you get your carbon fiber exterior mirrors? Maybe I will PM you.
Thanks, Chris.

CraftSquare CF Mirrors with billet aluminum base...check out my ribs in the reflection...sorry, no skinny butts here...



Close up of mounting (center and sides) before the finishing plates are on...The center bracket will be remade with better visual quality...The black cable is power to the V1 and the chain is attached to a Rosary...



OT...New custom made Micro Mooneyes for the TRD PR-1s...
