Re: Alternative mirror suggestion

["Robert Rooney" <dmcvegas@xxxx>]

I thought a while back someone said that DMC Houston was looking into 
producing the mirrors for the DeLorean (convex mirrors?). Replacing a 
standard part w/an aftermarket one is fine as long as it meets or 
exceeds the manufacturers original specifications. You might be 
marked off points for the mirrors in a concourse judging. But if your 
car sees the road alot, the safety issue is way more important.
