So I'm not a huge fan of the way the '74 Duster mirrors look, so I have been looking at other makes and models side mirrors to see if there are any better designed mirrors out there. I have tried a set of 65 Mustang side mirrors (for shiggles) and juuuuust didn't jive.

Anyone out there found any success with other designs?

I can't decide if its the look or the price of a matching right side mirror . I liked the sport mirrors on the 78 aspens but don't know if they will mount in the my 73 duster

When I bought my 69 Dart GT Vert', the guy had tried to "Euro-pimp" it by installing rectangular head lights:mad:, black rectangular side mirrors, a seriously "rigged" set of gas assist rods fro the trunk and gray "grip tape" on every flat metal surface inside the car. yes, you read that right, gray "grip tape", the stuff you put around pools... :realcrazy:.

Point is, whatever you decide, and it's your decision, please, for the love of all that is holy, do NOT euro-pimp your car.... Undoing that mess, is going to be a PITA... :icon_fU:

Oh absolutely not. Hahahhahha. I was just trying to see if anyone has had success in finding a different alternative. A tasteful alternative.
 
I have been wishing I could find some that looked good and also had the turn indicator built in to them like some newer cars have.:D
 
Do B body mirrors on my dakota count?

Not without a wedge shaped spacer of some kind. The door mounting area is angled down steeply on the Aspen/Volare where its more of a cove on the A body.
 
Unfortunately I dont have pics, but when I had a 72 Scamp that I used as a daily driver for 7 years. I bought aftermarket black rectangular mirrors for it, I thought it looked pretty good at the time, and way way way more functional that the stock little round mirrors.
 
Mustang mirrors ?
You get the "Come on Man" of the day. :)
If you don't have sport mirrors, then you need sport mirrors.
Direct bolt/screw on mirrors from the factory, that are Awesome looking. Just like Ma Mopar designed it.
Look no further, these are the best mirrors for what you want to do.

I saw a '71 Challenger (convertible) where the builder used mirrors from a Fiero. It was a highly modified car, but it didn't look to bad.

To be fair though, the Mustang mirrors are going on my kids 66 Ranchero we're building. It wasn't like I bought them explicitly for the Duster. Thought I would throw the question out there. All in good taste, all in good taste
