Side-View Mirror Suggestions?

[ZuperZport]

Looking for a trick set of side-view mirrors. Specifically looking for something that is "compact" but obviously still useful. I am staying away from a stock Camaro unit and really would like to find something with a "Pro-Touring" flare.

I have been leaning towards the motorcycle industry as there are some unique designs out there.

Looking for "Road-Warrior"/"Street-Fighter" style.

Have yet to find anything I think will gel with my build. I was debating on the ones pictured below but they look a little too "cheap" in the plastic shell. Also they are only $15 on ebay for the pair.....might be a "get what you paid for" deal there.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I always liked the Vision mirrors. Sleek, not too big, but still a useable mirror.

Those would be unique on a car.

Maybe some of these guys doing billet parts should start looking into doing mirrors next. Of coarse they would probably be $1000 a set.

sleek mounting that doesn't look like it belongs on a C5 would be great.

How about a more vintage sportscar look?

I went with these:

The bullet types. I dig 'em..

Vengeance has Sport Bike mirrors on his streetfighter Camaro that he calls Stormie. I can't remember the name of the build thread. They look really nice.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

I love these vintage racing mirrors:


Unfortunately they cost:



Not sure if making them in billet will make them cheaper. I'm surprised somebody hasn't found a way to reproduce them cheaper in chrome specifically for first gen Camaros.

I don't know guys,those bullets look dated, aren't we supposed to be innovating?

[MuscleRodz]

I can get those bullet mirrors cheap, and quality is very nice on them, about $50 a pair.

Funny, I just got off the phone with my customer on this very subject and think we have come up with some good options. One is the 92-98 Lesabre mirror, a more compact C5 looking mirror. We also were looking at 08-10 Challenger mirrors, but hard to find. Another is 70-71 Cuda mirrors, but expensive. We finally settled on one which I plan to use but I am not telling yet, as this has been a subject of many hours on the phone/internet and don't want to give away my hard work just yet.

I'm gonna be putting CBR mirrors on mine

[TitoJones]

The ones I like are really expensive and come from a Porsche.

I'm TRYING to make my car look dated...like around 1970. Check my pics in the link...

Vintage style is hot. So is the high tech look-

Either can look amazing if you nail it.

But, our elder rides look pretty cool with the vintage sportscar mirrors. None of them ever came with 'em, but they look right, and a lot better than the factory offerings IMO.

I got mine from a kit Cobra maker- they were like $60 for the pair. There are better quality ones out there, I'm sure. But, these are fine for me.

Vitaloni Californian mirrors... used on lots of vintage race cars, but still have a modern look to them. They look alot (if not the same) like the hollywood mirrors posted earlier.

[wmhjr]

I really like some of the cars, and really like Stormy. But I do NOT like the bike mirror on a car look. Looks out of place and "less engineered" to me. JMHO.

those are what mine are.. BUT mine are the shorty versions.. these are ridiculously out there.
