    New Miata Side Mirrors

    So I broke my drivers side mirror (stupid old car) and need to do something new. I can simply replace the bolt, get some replacement Miata mirrors, get some vintage stuff, or get some fender Mirrors. personally, all the options are good. But I think I want something different. Would love some opinions/pictures of what to do. So far I have this.

    These actually look good. I know, its crazy. I could use these as a regular side mirror or get ballsy and use it as a fender mount.

    These are super balls to the wall. Imagine these as a fender Mirror. Holy crap, right?
    1990 Miata, she was red but now she is Spirit Green!

    Those datsun mirrors are siiiiiick. I'd be concerned about mounting them, though. (I say drop the $50 and see if you can make it work. It would definitely make Amy much more unique.)
    2012: Purchased Miata, Laid off 3 days later. 4th place overall (default!), NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2013: Budget RTR build, massive increase in participation, 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2014: Suspension and more active competition in STS. 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA
    2015: Time for some "form" and vintage styling (while still racing NWOR, of course).

    Maybe if you weren't so concerned about fixing your hair and makeup then you wouldn't have broken your mirror. Don't blame the car.

    The Datsun mirrors are slick, but not sure how the heck you are gonna see outta them being so far forward? But i'm a blind SOB that wears glasses, so take it for what its worth.

    The PEP Boys is nice to use if you can make a mounting bracket for it.

    How about this Carbon Fiber one from www.MiataRoadster.com , It would look great with your black racing stripe!

    Or these M2-1028 Style Mirrors in Black from www.REV9AutoSport.com also would match your black stripe

    Personally, I would get the M2-1028 and later on when you have some car money you can paint them "Spirited Green" color to match your car.

    CraftSquare Touring Competition mirror. I had a set of these, they had a nice wide angle view. Solid metal Base with Carbon Fiber Mirror shell.

    The chrome pep-boys number is just kinda meh. The flat mirror housing doesn't work for me. Miatas need some volume behind the glass, whether it's teardrop or bullet shaped or even rectangular.
