    idk. there is no way to figure it out without going out and measuring all the triangles in the world haha. im sure there are some other models that would work well, but i have no idea what they are. now you see why i have gone 5 years with no side mirrors still. idk what will work and what wont.

    Alright. I went ahead and asked the ebayseller if he could see if he had any that fit either 89-93 Celica or 3000gt. I'll post here what/if he answers.

    not much on the roadways that's lower than my viewing angle being blocked by a triangle-mirror in my 3000gt. that should go double if your car is lowered. besides, putting it on a pedestal mounted to the triangle isn't out of the question either.

    p.s.

    celica mirrors, from what i recall, fit, but the angle is FUBAR. they'll point upwards at about a 45 degree angle, which not only looks retarded, but severely hampers their usefulness. i did try it with my ebay knockoffs. i'll sell them to you if you want.

    Well you're right now that I think of it. They would probably block your view. Seats are very low on a 3s which is probably why they didn't place the mirrors in the triangle.

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.
