On my way back from the HB Concours this afternoon I swung by Pep Boys
to check out their mirrors. In CA, at least, they carry Vitaloni
mirrors. Earlier in the week I'd stopped in their store near work and
had pretty much decided on the Baby Bravos. Only problem was they just
the passenger side.  Today they were marked down from $35 to $25 as they
are discontinuing them. So I got a pair.

The Bravo is slightly larger than the Baby Tornados that Mike Daily has
on his car and shows at

near the bottom of the page. The look is similar. Judging from the close
up of the mirror assembly, I'd say they are about 1/2 inch bigger in
height and width. I measured the glass to be 5.25 x 3.5. The passenger
side mirror is convex ("objects appear..."), which I wanted. I plan to
mount them on the glass, and in that position they look like they were
made for the car. They could be mounted on the top of the door, but in
that position, the rubber accord looks fairly strained and a little
unnatural. I'll post some pictures when I get them mounted.
