Econo-Mirrors?

Yozuki Ri · 08-23-2009, 07:13 PM

Anyone familiar with these? They are supposed to reduce drag by providing less surface area and provide a tip for streamlining the air. Another bizarre one has a hole in it (not sure how that one works). Anyone got any pictures of these on an MR2? The reason I ask is, while walking from W-Mart, I noticed the mirrors look strangely out of place on the curvy MR2 and otherwise streamlined midmount.

RX-7 have these stock.

Somebody just had a set for sale here. I'll see if I can find the link.

So it's just an add on body kit then? Thanks.

Not mine but it looks like you can just stick them on. I think they'd look good on a widebodied mr2. Not too sure how they would look on a stock one though.

get a rollcage, take the external mirrors completely off, and use these:

Yeah, it's a Mark 1 but these electric Celica mirrors are an exact swap and they aren't stock so I like 'em.

That's pretty nifty! Time to weld in a roll cage.

I am going to stick with stock mirrors its cheaper plus they are my warning feelers when they get knocked back it means I'm getting a bit close to things

Me and ricky often touch each others mirrors round corners at the track it's kinda cool.

There's no need to permanently install a roll cage Autopower makes a bolt in that you can take with you to the next car.

What's really cool is that the door bars unbolt for going back and forth to work everyday and NOT have to do the Nascar wiggle out the drivers window.
