Different mirrors?

Hello everyone,

I am the proud owner of a 2007 MCS in eclipse grey. I want to try and give it a military-ish look, not go all out, but make it look mean. I decided that a set of black metal, rectangle mirrors would be a cool addition. My question for you all is this; if I were to get a set of those mirrors, how would I mount them? And how would I fill that empty space left by the stock mirrors? All help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Tyler

I ran all sorts of mirrors on my 1st gen Miata but I always just modified the mirror mounts to fit the existing threaded holes in my doors. Fold your mirrors and measure the existing hole spacing and buy your replacement mirrors accordingly.

Tyler,
You are driving one of the cuter looking cars on the road. Any attempts to make it look mean or military-ish will likely produce comical or cross-dresser-type style results.

I see Jeep wrangler in your future.

I've always been a fan of those monsters :thumbs up: I agree I decided to throw my money elsewhere.
