i do like the matching gold fan (with the wheels and graphics). bright colors on fans never look appropriate to me, but this seems to work much better. nice.

It's so funny to me that people have such strong opinions on a mirror. The 964 mirror is tiny. I looked for a larger option that would fully replace the stock mirror and couldn't find one, so I found one that mounts to the front of the original. Was it my first choice or the way I would have preferred to go? No, but it does get the job done. The passenger mirror on the 964 won't adjust wide enough for my liking; you can't go far enough to not have the side of the car in the mirror. This mirror allows me to check my blindspot while changing lanes while keeping my eyes forward.

Thank you. I wasn't sure about it either but I think it turned out pretty good. It was either that or the silver and thought the gold made more sense. Since its not painted but rather powder coated its not 100% dead on but very close.

Thanks. Not bad for a 128k mile car.

I think it's 6 inches. You could buy a mount from pepboys for like $5.

That's smaller than factory! I'll have to pass, but thanks for the offer.

Yep!

Kidding. You're concerned with safety and visibility and I applaud that with your daughter in car. I have a 5 y/o and her safety would always be the main priority. We're just giving you a hard time - keep the mirror and keep your daughter safe!

Bit of trivia: my car is on the far right rear of that picture in your signature.

I think if you look close you can see the mirror


oops forgot the random 964 pic!

Vagluv,
All jokes a side your car is beautiful. Keep your mirror.god forbid if you had an accident because of that mirror I would never forgive myself. We all have different tastes and function>looks indeed.
Enjoy that beautiful car, have fun with your 2 year old and look out on that 74 Volvo mirror
