The parts are ~300 bucks shipped, which is I guess not horrible but it's definitely not cheap. It uses a bunch of plastic clips already in the floor pan to attach, but the panels have deep indents to allow it to use those clips. I guess a solution is to drill holes into an aluminum square tube as a bracket on one side and attach coroplast directly to the drive shaft tunnel's edge.
It's a lot of work for a car I'm not even that fond of :/ Still waiting on a midengined 2 seater I like to hit the market, something I can keep forever. Maybe airdam it is.
As for mirrors aerohead, this is all I can find:
280 dollars...yea, forget it lol.
Alternatively I could buy a generic fit for 60 something and make mounting brackets for it, but that's a lot of effort to get rid of the awfully convenient power adjustable heated mirrors. |
Formula-1 cars are using a similar mirror.
*The mounting base should be 'blended' though
*The 'rod' should be streamlined
*The mirror's cap should be deepened
*And a little bit of boat-tailed box-cavity behind
Here's a 2-dimensional flow shape which would be good
