Rick,
Since you don't have any exisiting holes to deal with, best bet would be for
you to sit in the car, and have a steady-handed helper hold the mirror(s) at
different locations, until you find the spot that works best for you. Since
you're going with fender mounts, and you won't be able to reach them to
adjust them anyways, then the position that gives you the best field of view
from the driver's seat is the best place for them.
