I mounted the new little mirror outside the car. I used plumbers tape (and my dad thought it wouldn't be sturdy enough ). I've tested it to about 40MPH, seems to hold up fine. I'll make a little air shield for it and maybe find a way to secure the mirror more securely than just the adhesive that it came with.



This is what it looks like from the driver's seat, or at least the same angle but a little closer.


This is the view from the passenger's seat. I like the way it looks so much that I decided to do the driver's side, too, but Autozone was out of the mirrors.
The plumbers tape which holds the new mirror may have a higher drag than the mirror you've removed.Just sayin'
