In between removing the mirrors and installing the covers my buddy had to go to the plastic shop with one of his customers. The customer had a truck and so I followed them over to pick up two 4x8's of coreplast (for what I hope is my upcoming belly pan and camback builds
). Driving without mirrors even for just the 2 miles or whatever it is from the marina to the plastics place was scary
!!! I was glad I had purchased interior mirrors and I decided to get them installed prior to finishing the outer mirror covers.
I should take pics closeup of these but the overall result is this:
You can see I added a panoramic wideview mirror to the rearview mirror in the center. (These are awesome btw and eliminate both blindspots nearly completely on their own).
I didn't think that would be a helpful solution for talking my way out of tickets so I also added mirors inside. You can see the one on the drivers side which is a small convex mirror mounted to the dash, and the passenger mirror is identical but mounted to the A-pillar. These were like $3 each from harbor freight. They mount with suction cups to windows but in my case I put small screws through the suction cups. The mounting points were chosen for their functionality in providing the right angles. Here is a pic from another angle:
In the end I can see much more than I could with the old mirors and I have a decreased frontal area, without the additional mirror turbulence travelling down the sides of the car. I consider this a big win
