Chevelle Mirror Choices
I've been looking at mirror choices out there and would like some suggestions. The Stock OE mirrors look OK, but because of there design
you can't see jack out of them. I've looked at the 05 miata mirrors, the Olds ciara mirrors and even the stock bullet mirrors, but what about Motorcycle mirrors like the Yamaha R6. They shoud provide enough rear vision and are a decent size (3.5 X 5.5"). Has anybody tried these?
There quite reasonable, I may just try them. The other styles are either not right for the car,expensive(C5 Mirrors) or not much an improvement over the OE. Suggestions Anyone.

They would be nice put I would def. Shorten the arm length if possible. Thats all I can offer right now as I can't think of any other mirrors.

A mirrior I thought about was the Fox Mustang convertible mirror. It's kinda square, but I think it would look pretty good on an old A-body.
In the end, I went with the stock mirrrors, converted to power, but if they don't work out I may go back to the Mustang mirror idea.

Hey, just had another thought... what about the '80s Camaro/Firebird mirrors, or even '80s Corvette mirrors?
