Thanks to all who responded. The consensus is...there is no consensus. Some
folks say that mirrors up front don't give a large enough field of view, others
say they vibrate and are useless, and others say they are fine. My thought is
that if they provide at least some benefit for seeing what's around you, then
it may be worth it since in my opinion they have a 'cool' factor as well.

Greetings,
On my '71 GT6 I have a single bullet mirror on the driver's door. It is mounted
behind (to the rear of) the vent window and is too far back in my opinion. I am
used to having a mirror on the passenger side as well - my dreaded other
vehicle is a minivan :-( - and I wonder whether I sould put some mirrors on the
bonnet to give me a better field of vision. I like the looks of a couple of
bullet mirrors up front on the bonnet, but I wonder how practical they are
considering vibration. Anyone have any experience with this? Alternatively, I
could move the driver's mirror forward and mount one on the passenger door, but
I've heard that this may not work well either (especially on the passenger
side). Real world experiences much appreciated.
