Default Racing mirrors for C5?

Does anyone make something similar that fits C5's?

Has anyone done them?

Don't need no "stinkin" mirrors. What is behind me is of no importance.

I don't know of anything made specifically for a C5, but I remember seeing someone on here a few years back with carbon fiber motorcycle mirrors. Looked really cool and went well with the rest of the build.

APR Universal Mirrors would be a solid option, you would need to make a base for fitment however. http://aprperformance.com/index.php?...d=92&Itemid=44

Let me know if I can help

I'm going for a black and red theme on my car, which is part weekend cruiser, part track/autocross toy. Thought they might look good and a bit racey.

Considering the other sins people do to their Corvettes from their Mid America buying sprees (chrome tail light louvres, anyone?), I think these are pretty innocuous.

However, if none exist that are a direct fit, I would be worried about the fit being questionable - so I'll probably pass and just wrap the mirrors in matte vinyl or something like that.
