It's custom we mixed but it's very close to the 2005 Corvette color called "Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic". It's also very similar to a Honda Element color (I don't know the name). It's more of a bronzish orange and it's a pearl paint not metallic.

Mirrors look great on there, never would have thought of those as an option.

MOCWON, can you tell us if and how much you dropped the truck. And what size tires and wheels are you running? I really like the look. Thanks.

So, where did you get the mirrors?

I am looking for a set now...

724wdcopper · 09-26-2005, 03:12 PM

not having seen miata mirrors up close in person, are you guys changing the tilt of the head with some sort of spacer, or is that factory? kinda looks like a rubber or something ball under the head?

The miata doors are the same shape as the 67-72 door...No mods ,except to sand the mazda name off the bottom of the mirror....

I really like the mirrors, but have a couple questions about them:
1. Would they interfere if I were to leave the triangle window (could I still open it with them?)
2. How do you adjust them? Do you need to run a cable, or do they just adjust with your hand?

1. bisquik65 should be able to answer your question about interfering with the vent window; mine has single piece glass so it's not an issue. I suspect if you move them toward the door handle end far enough they wouldn't be in the way of the vent windows. If you mount them further up like I did they might interfere with vent windows.

2. These are manual mirrors, no remote control cables to fuss with.

The passenger side one came from a junkyard in Dallas for $6 and driver's side was a new one I got on E-bay for $25.

The mirrors look pretty good. The truck looks "very" good. Post a set of pics in the picture forum too....
