Default passenger side mirror

delete, or don't delete. it would look alot more retro, and create less drag/save a bit of weight. (and is legal, for those of you wondering).

well.. it might be retro... and it might be legal... but I think it would really look out of place... it would look a bit odd.... and of course, it might be legal but I would keep mine for safety...

i think i might pull it sometime in a few days for a mockup and see how it looks... it is kinda hard to picture, but i think the mirrors on the car look a bit too bulky..

What? Are you serious? I use my passenger side mirror all the time. In fact I put a blind spot mirror on the corner of it so that I make sure there are no cars in that lane when I move over.
If you didn't have that mirror, chances are you will hit someone.

some people like to look over their shoulder. I've driven several vehicles without a second mirror.. several cars (such as my roommate's 67 GT) didn't have passenger side mirrors (and most didn't get them till the 70's)... I've managed before, and safety, once again, isn't the issue. thanks guys.

I might "lose" my passenger mirror too. Two outa three mounting bolts are broken anyway, so I could yank it off very easily! [8D]

yeah... quite a bit of drag from those mirrors anyway, or so i've been told.. we're sitting on a .355 drag coefficient as is.

+1on the Agent 47 mirrors.
As far as removing it altogether, it'd probably just look absurd IMO.
