Chrome mirrors on 80-82??
Getting my 80 prepped for paint. I had bought the large size chrome mirrors to be put on after paint, but now I am having second thoughts. I want the safety and looks of the new chrome, but I don't want it to look "pimped" if you know what I mean, especially against the black moulding on the windows. BTW, I also bought the chrome side vents. I think those will look good no matter what!
Has anybody else put chrome mirrors on their 80-82??? Pics if you got'em!

I have the chrome side vents on my 81 and like the look of them. As for chrome side mirrors I don’t know what that would look like? I saw a picture of an 80 with late model side mirrors and thought the looked good, even mounted higher than stock so the rear fenders did not block out the view.
BTM, did you get your hood to clear the triangle air cleaner? I had to drop mine to clear. Also where did you get the chrome valve covers from? They look cool.

I like the looks of the chrome mirrors with the chrome bumpers, and the plastic/fiberglass mirrors with the soft bumpers.
It seems to match the overall aspect of the car.
