I've got this stuff called Instant Jet. It will bond anything to anything. And if you get it on your fingers, it'll take a full bottle of nail polish remover to get it off.
That might hold your mirror on, especially since the Agent 47 mirrors are pretty aerodynamic. You can get it at the local hobby store.

American muscle sells replacement mirrors

I see that yours are red, are those covers or are they actually painted red?

Garage was unscathed. I think the white paint came from the rubber trim, so luckily enough there was no damage at all.

No problem, Glad it all worked out. I know someone with agent 47 mirrors that they dont want, not sure on shipping from fla or how much they want for them though but I could find out if you need to replace the mirror.

I only had the car out of the garage to make room for me to paint my SHR Louvers. They turned out pretty well...I'll get them installed when I get my adhesion promoter from SHR and get fresh pictures up (After the mirror is fixed, lol)

SHR louvers are in and the paint is drying on the mirror. I painted the mirror while still in two pieces to make it easier, so when the paint is dry enough that I can handle I'll glue it back together (Found some JB Weld that works with plastics) and get the mirror back on.

I'm gonna cite you for wreck less driving! lol.
You garage paint is good ole latex (no catalyst) so not as resistant as your clear coat.
Lucky for you.
To fix your mirror, you could use Duramix as bonding agent.

That's what most pros use.
Go to your local automotive paint supplier and ask for the small cartridges (about $30 with).
They will try to sell you the gun for it but you can push the material with a flat screwdriver and mix the 2 parts on a piece of cardboard.
No matter what you use though, make sure you rough up the area with 80 grit sand paper and use generous amount if possible.
