Make mine a Guinness draft. As most have pointed out, some people like bone stock, others on the real wild side, and most of us are in between. And I think I'll have another Guinness. 
Jclgodale3, that's what I'm talking about. I think that style of mirrors looks pretty nice. Did you have to do any grinding on the base or did they mount without any type of modification? You've got a fine looking car. It looks like you put a lot of hard work and TLC to get it this nice looking. You should be proud.
Check mine out on cardomain. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2211031

I've thought about that swap too. I've already bought five mirrors off ebay trying to make one good pair of stock electric mirrors for may 81. I want to keep the electric mirrors, but dang! I've about given up. Time to go another route.

BTW - I am thinking about replacing the Turbo 400 tranny with a r700 and upgrading the suspension. After looking at the various rear end ratios, I think the 3.36 sounds like a good compromise.
