some mirror mounts i just made for my baja, used 5"convex mirrors, pretty similiar to the yellow ones posted above,sorry for the crappy cell pic

all the mirrors are mounted in the original area on the door.
kind of hard to see the mirror if you have a helmet on.
most pre-runners and racers mount it higher.
just my 2 cents.

i was out driving my baja this weekend with the mirrors for the first time and had no problem seeing them with my helmet on

i think a lot depends on how the cage is also designed. i've seen a lot of race cars with a vertical tube in the window that might block some view if the mirrors are mounted low and not high

I like this one also. If you can make R & L for $40 or less each I would buy a set.

X3 and X4

(I would commit to buy 2 complete sets)

I know its not protected, but a bus mirror gives a good rear view. works with the stock mount.

When I'm done painting and mounting these, I think they will challenge for the best looking...

Sxuxrxf makes some really nice stuff.

Im pretty jealous of his fab skills. I would buy a set as well but I plan on learning to weld and making my own, something about the one of a kind "I made that" proudness.

Too kind. :oops:
I also like the one-of-a-kind factor to things that I make, which is why I don't make more of any given item. Usually I decide on something that I think will be cool and a little different, but that also means more of a pita to make.
I also get bored really easy. It's fun to go through the process of turning a thought into reality...the 1st time. After that, not so much.
