Chrome outside mirrors
I bought a pair from Ebay last week and they just got here. They look great and are a direct repro from the original mirror (Mine only has one on the left side) but without age and pits!
My Q is about the differences if any, between left and right side mirrors. Both of these new boxes I have here are labelled as 'Left Side' mirrors. Is there a difference?

If you use a RH mirror you may want to get convex mirror (objects are closer than they appear) glass installed. It will be much more useful. You need to find a glass shop that will custom cut a larger convex mirror - many are reluctant to do it, but if you push they should take car of you.

Has anyone ever seen a CHROME SPORT MIRROR?? Would it look cool, or like crap?
