TROGDOR! Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 So, when Tin Soldier and I were playing around with my parts car last week, we stumbled across something new... something I've never seen done before that looks pretty derned cool... (yeah, my car is filthy from driving on country roads in the rain all day) XT mirrors fit an L-series! Use a hacksaw or Sawzall and cut off the lower rear screw post, and the remaining two screw posts fit right in and hold it in tight. Even the plug matches and works! The XT at the boneyard had had both mirrors on it, but I got there today to find that some jerk had smashed the drivers' side, so I only have one for now... but, another local yard has one, and in black too- but it'll be Monday before I can get it. I'm sure some people will hate it, but I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoahDL88 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 they will certainly help with the drag coefficient, maybe pick up a mph or two at top speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFox Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 yeah i need mirrors for the rx, maybe thay work on the 3door because of the rake of the a-pillar i do know for certain that the 3-door a pillar is more raked back than the standard wagon and sedan.

subaru_styles Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 cool..i was thinking about the same thing as coupe mirrors have different bases than the 4dr/wagons... i was also looking into using xt/xt6 carpet and rear bottom seat as they seem too be very close if not the same to a coupes. i noticed the plastic pieces that hold the carped down at the door jams are the same bewtween the coupes and xts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Went to the other boneyard and got that second mirror today. Got them on the car, and got a couple more pics. Yes I know the pics are terrible and the car is filthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
