Great idea for side mirrors for first gen Camaro.
« on: January 31, 2025, 04:38:07 PM »
I see that there are very few options for cool side mirrors on our first gen Camaros.  I have seen quite a few Camaros with 2nd gen bullet mirrors and they look decent enough.  However, I did this back in 92 and so it is not really a new idea and has been done.  Plus, it's not like you can find bullet mirrors easily in the junkyards anymore and they are becoming a bit expensive online.   I came up with a new side mirror that I am betting no one has done at all, and is still easy to find. Power mirrors from a mid to late 90's buick LeSabre.  The switch for the mirrors in embedded in the door with the window switches and so not practical.  If you search around and look for a vehicle with a power mirror switch that is all by itself, you can probably use that.  I ended up using a Chrysler/Jeep power mirror switch to make my mirrors work (PT Cruiser or Grand Cherokee). It involved sanding the base a bit to get the right angle, but I think I got it perfect.  I spent hours figuring out the wiring and have made a schematic of what goes where.  If you are interested, let me know and I can send you that info.    Anyway, let me know what you think.
