Has anybody used the 69 painted mirrors on an earlier car. I don't want chrome or polished anywhere on the body, so these mirrors painted body color would look good I think. Opinions?

The 69 style has always been one of my favorites."Fst Blk" said:"Laurie S." said:Yes, I have dual racing mirrors on Trouble. They look great!
Did you use factory 69 style mirrors or an era type mirror. I've seen them listed for the 69's for 130 ish a mirror and era styles listed considerably cheaper.
I like both really. Which ones do you guys like better?

"stangg" said:Definitely the OEM style over the ebay ones... I'm guessing the ebay ones are on par with the universal ones that everyone seemed to use back in the 70s&80s... they tended to flop around after a couple years. These may be better, but every time the get bumped you'll probably loosen them up a bit... The OEM style at least has the mirror captive in the housing and probably less of a chance to loosen them up.. besides... the OEM ones look nicer IMO. Another thing on the ebay ones, the passenger side mirror always looks off because you have to turn it so much to see that it looks odd from an exterior view.
Something else you should check is if you'll have clearance for the vent window operation. Sometimes the optimal mirror position interfers with the wing window.
that's what I have on mine. I like how they look but they are almost useless (too small)"Fst Blk" said:... I like these better than all the rest though, but they won't fit with the rest of the build. Too blingy.
