They may not be as attractive as the sport mirrors from the outside, but I bet the work better from the inside. The sport mirrors work great to see what your fender looks like. Aimed out, they help a bit, but the bubble glass helps more.
Perhaps it is easier to remember the first rule of Italian Corvette driving.
IGNATZ what mirror is on the silver car? I like those too
Those are the sport mirrors from later years. They include a cable and toggle that you mount on the inside of your door. That's how you adjust them. It's a bit of a challenge to get it mounted securely. If you have the chrome mirrors, the holes don't match up at all so you have a problem with paint. One other thing that is important is the escutcheon that has to be installed with the correct angle or you get the mirror way too close to the door glass.
Some people complain about the view behind, but I disagree. Properly adjusted, you see what you need to see. That does include a bit of the rear fender. You want all three of your mirrors working in harmony to give you the full sweep of what's behind you (as Bikespace points out - the losers). The passenger side has or can have a convex mirror. My chrome mirrors never held adjustment. The frontage road on the way into work didn't help, going fast enough the unbalanced mount wind pressure meant I was constantly resetting them.
I got mine used from a supplier on Long Island whose name you can probably figure out.
Tall factory mirrors, maybe 72 or 73? Look period correct, don't feel cheap and great visibility. I took those plastic sport mirrors off, they just felt cheezy, have a pair of 2004 mirrors NIB that I just don't like. Came back to these.

You need my fix your droopy mirrors instructions. Very easy to do and it's almost too tight.

Yes, The later big head stock mirrors look the best to me. Even better than later C3's OEM bullet style sport mirrors.
Like I said I made them too tight and it feels as if I'm going to pull the thing off the door adjusting it. Held up to 130 which is about where my car stops pulling.
