Need a new mirror

PortlandSTI · 07-01-2009, 04:46 PM

I'm an Idiot, and now I need a new side mirror...

Could this be an excuse to find a new pair. I LOVE the side mirrors on the Ken Block car. I am looking everywhere. Are they really not available in the states?

Thanks.

Are there no small, clean looking side mirrors for the GR? I cant find anything for our year.

Hi ,

The Ken Block Mirrors are good if you have no traffic at all

For daily use they are crap imo. I have had M3 Mirrors on my Focus RS and it was a pain to change Lane.

I read here that the JDM Mirrors are a bit smaller , it would be a good compromise.

cheers

Contact a local rally shop, they should be able to point you in the right direction. I love the look of the short mirrors but they are pretty useless on a street car IMHO. They're only on rally cars for 2 reasons: to legally transit on public roads, and to see what parts came off after you took a turn too fast.
