"Safe-to-drive", blah, blah, blah. Your car have Airbags, ABS, Traction Control? Doesn't sound safe.

It's amazing how some people can't seem to function without a RH mirror. Good grief!

I would make a paper template of the driver mirror.
cut to the shape of the door, then overlay it on the passenger door to ensure perfect symmetry.

As mentioned you get a paper template as part of the kit and lay down some low tack masking tape in the drill area.

I fitted one to my '71 LT-1 being in the UK it does help and I prefer the symmetry aspect as well. It's still solid after 8 years installed on just the well nuts.
