New mustang side Mirrors look like older honda accord mirrors

The mustang's new mirrors look like the older honda accord mirrors. 2006 and older accords. I like the 05-09 mustang mirrors better, because it's a unique design of it's own.

I think I prefer the new ones even if they do look similar to the older Honda ones. I wish Ford had opted to go for something along the lines of the old "sports mirrors" of yesteryear. Agent 47 makes a great modern rendition of this design.

I think the agent 47 mirror aren't durable or strong as the stock mirrors that is probably why they didn't design sleeker mirrors.

Heck, I think the Challenger's mirrors look good. They aren't too far apart from the old sport mirrors so I figure it must be possible to do.

It's a shame everything is made of plastic.

They look like they might be smaller top to bottom, but they still stick out really far. It's like they expect you to be pulling a trailer with as wide as they made them.

Sorry if I misrepresented what I said earlier. It's just my own opinion about the mirrors. To me, they seem weaker because the attachment point is smaller. If you were to scrape the side of something with the stock mirrors, it will hold strong than the agent 47.

Got it. They both mount using the same triangle mounting point though. I would say that if you scrape something, it will break either one. To each their own. Pure styling exercise.
