Thanks.
I have an Alpine with a pair of TEX bullet mirrors.
They look great IMHO.
At this point I'm leaning towards Wingard wing mirrors. They are shaped in a
more rectangular fashion and should be more effective in today's traffic - an
important concern for a Tiger driven in all highway conditions.
