Well, there are also these or these, but I have no idea about the quality.
They are suspiciously cheap. So much so, that I'm sort of inclined to risk it and buy them, to take a look but usually you get what you pay for.

Don't even think about them. They don't fit at all.
Don't ask how I know.

These are the Sports Mirrors - OEM. It's not the Mazdaspeed mirrors, though they almost look the same.

Anyone know of a set of mirrors that can be mounted from front fenders? This would need a cover up panel for old mirrors.

How good are mirrors that mount on the fenders of a car?

i would think it would be tough to see anything in them.

The sport mirrors or Ganador are intended to cause less wind resistance for those that wonder what the benefit would be.

Kel I am not sure if I would paint them silver. The black makes them look less conspicuous.

If they are all silver they tend to look like ears that stick out. I believe that is why Mazda didn't paint the entire stock mirrors to match the body color. They only have the little strip of color to give the optical illusion that they are smaller.

You don't have to take your eyes away from front. Kind of like HUD. I saw a first gen 7 with one on the front left fender. It looks good too. Never seen them? Main thing is covering the existing mirror panel with something that looks good. I drove an old stingray with one on the front left fender. It was way too cool. You never have to turn your head to look at the mirror.

It does look good on the sevens when it is on the body.

I would like to mount them up closer to the fender. That does look good. The one I saw was on a 80's model 7. That is one good looking 7 though.
