And presumably you don't find it is "...one more thing to have to work around."..?

I have never found the factory-fitted fender mirrors on my cars to have got in my way. As with the mirror on your door, I just sub-consciously work around them.

Unless you find yourself walking into your door mirror all the time?

Funny you say this...  When my Goldwing is in the garage there is a small path round my 240z (in the wintertime)  and often i have to re-adjust my door mirror (of the type "aftermarket" and not very steardy) because i hit it often when going through the narrow path..  mind you, there is no paint that i can scratch because it needs a new paintjob.... for years...  (the 240z will get a resto in the next 2-3 years i think..)

Yes they were expensive but the price was including shipping and import fees (I'm in Sweden) and on top of that the exchange rate sek to US dollar was in my favor.

But still it's a lot of money.

Where you going with this? Did I rub a sore spot Because you like them and I don’t? Blondes or brunettes right ?

My opinion is the fender mirrrors are in the way compared to US mounted door mirrors. If it’s not to you great. I have zero issues if you like them on the fender.

The same place you are, by the looks of things.

I get that you don't like the look of them (even if nobody asked...) but I don't agree that they "get in the way" any more than any other externally-mounted mirror does. And I own and use cars with both factory fender mirrors and factory door mirrors, so I think I know what I'm talking about.

As mentioned, I've got both.

Hopefully your blonde has matching collar and cuffs.
