Default 2 quick questions...

question 1: can u bolt on a c5 side mirror to the c4 door with minimal modding? (car is headed off to the body shop) Reason: a friend of mine is willing to sell me mirrors with directions in them! for a great price. but he lives quite far away so i cant just line them up.



Question 2: My best friend is looking into shaving door handles off his 87 any one have any idea on how the hell to go about that... if it looks good on his i might consider it on mine before i get the car redone!

thx ahead of time

1. Don't know about the C5 mirrors on a C4...

2. You would use a remote solenoid to open the door. kit with two solenoids and two remotes is like $50 give or take.

You can put Peterbilt mirrors on your C-4 if you want to.

The directional signal in the mirror involves connecting to your turn signal wires, might be some work but if we can land on the moon you can put the C-5 mirrors on your C-4.
