New PRO-4030007 Talbot-Style Chrome Bullet Fender or Door Mount Side Mirrors Racing Vintage Classic (Pair)

The quality of the housing is excellent. These are very attractive mirrors, and I love the way they mount. The thing they are terrible at is the one thing that they needed to be good at... Reflecting things! The image is super warped. I feel like I'm in a fun house when I look at them. It isn't obvious up close, but when you put them on the fender and adjust them, it's hard to miss. These were meant to replace some very cheap plastic fender mirrors I purchased, and be an upgrade, but those at least worked well as mirrors, without distortion. I also had hoped (though I didn't expect this) there would be some way to lean the mirror over to one side, but no. These stand straight up on my flat topped fender. Maybe if your fender has a curve, you can mount them further down the curve to compensate, but that isn't an option for me. Even if the distortion wasn't there, that means they are effectively pointed straight at my windshield, and if adjusted to compensate, they leave me with a significant blind spot. I love how they look, but they also need to work. I ended up ordering something else, and plan to return these.

Beautiful mirrors, but not very functional. If it had longer arms, you’d be able to see blind spots more, but that is a design decision and not really related to the quality of the product. The mirror glass itself gives a warped view and is too small to really use when driving.
