Sledgehammer mirrors
So I was just googling different super cars tonight and I came across some pictures of the original sledgehammer which I have seen a million times but I saw something tonight I had never seen before. Has anyone noticed the side mirrors on the sledgehammer? (Not sure how to post a pisture, maybe someone else can)
I have always thought my car would look great with mirrors like this but until today i thought the closest thing was the "vader" mirrors that come with the stalker kit. I love how they go all the way into the body instead of having that stupid gap that most of ours has.
I know this may not seem like a big deal to most people but I am curious if anyone has seen these for sale anywhere or can give me more info about them?

You can see the texture of the stock mirror on them just barely. I'd bet they just nip and tucked a molding to the factory mirror. Them again, at their target speeds I dunno if that level of work would have cut it.
Strange, you'd assume they wouldn't do that, as to leave as little surface area as possible to cut through the wind.
