Hoon,
First, belated thanks on including the roadster in "The Incredibles."
Second, it's probably illegal, especially in California, but you'd have to
check w/ DMV to be positive.
Third, depends. Fender-mounted looks old school, but no quick 'n' easy
adjust, especially if you add one to the right fender. I've seen pics of
pre-68 roadsters w/ the side view mirror mounted in both locations. Probably
due to the mirrors being installed at the dealer.
FWIW, I like mine on the front fender, and will probably add one to the
right fender someday.
Cheers.

Subject: side view mirrors
Okay here is my dilemma.
I recently got my car painted, but the paint shop covered up the holes
where my side view mirror went.
I can either go back to the paint shop to have them drill back the
holes (so it's their mistake not mine in case I mess up), do it myself,
or leave it off.
Questions.
Is it legal to keep it off. (definitely not safe)
Is it better to have it on the front fender behind the antennae
Is it better to have it on the door.
what are you thoughts?
