Custom Side View Mirrors
Has anyone here changed from the original chrome side mirrors on the early C3's to something a little different from the stock pieces? I'm thinking of something billet or a mirror shaped out of the ordinary.
If you have, I'd appreciate seeing a photo or a link to the vendors site.
Thanks

Yea, some have switched to the later, bullit style sport mirrors. It's a good look. i got some thqt need to be installed. Installation is time consuming, the side glass needs to come out.
If I were you, I would pull the glass and drill the holes before paint, might save you some nicks.

Thanks for the leads guys. I have the body in primer now with the hopes of getting it back on the frame over the winter. All the glass is out so, I thought this would be a good time to drill out the holes and get ready. All I need to do now is figure out what mirrors to use.
There is a nice looking red 73 vette on the forum here (I think it's Red73). From the pics I've seen it looks like he has changed from the stock mirrors but it's hard to tell without a close up.

I'm using later model sprot mirrors on my '72. I think they're the best looking on the car IMO.
