Now that my running gear is in good order it's time to improve situational awareness. Side mirrors. I was initially thinking of other types but my search turned me on to Talbots. Couple of questions.
3.5" vs. 4". Just went out and measured the stock drivers mirror and it qualifies for 4.5". Is there that much difference between overall size of each for mounting on a GT?
Talbot is very proud of their mirrors. I like (and usually buy) quality parts, but they are a bit pricey, especially when 2 are needed.
Internet search and pinged a Cobra site. Talbot "type" mirrors, 4", chrome for $29.95 each. Can anyone comment on this, and/or are Talbot type mirrors available from a variety of vendors? Kinda clueless here and just starting to look. "Beware of cheap imitations?" Anyone have experience with this type $30 mirror?
As I read the archives I have to agree with a comment mentioned about Atlanta's roads; I frequent the NW and NE side Interstates. Feel naked without coverage of the right side blind spot and want to get a set of mirrors this week. It would be great if I could find a place local and do a 'hands on' in lieu of placing an order. See before buy would be cool.
