Yeah, me too.   For many years I planned to run them on my car, but then in 
a moment of inspiration I fitted factory-style Euro GTS mirrors (Vitaloni 
Californian) and I'm really glad I did--I like them much better.

The Colt mirrors arguably look great from the outside, and their angular 
lines really mate well with the somewhat angular lines of the car.   But from 
inside the car, they're really ugly.   And since I figured I'd be spending 
most of my time with my Pantera *in* my Pantera, that did it for me!

Currently I'm referring to the ones that Hall currently sells and has sold 
for a few years, that are about three times too big for the car.   Great big 
horrid-looking things, they are!

Precision Proformance sells them too.
