Anyone seen these mirrors before?
They are on an 84 Camaro that a picked up. I have never seen a set that look like these. Maybe aftermarket or something?Anyone know?

Re: Anyone seen these mirrors before?
The Firebird export "paddle" mirrors that I've seen (especially on the GTA) look fairly square. The picture in the following GM European brochure also look more square:

Not saying they're not factory export mirrors but they just don't look like the ones seen on other ThirdGen exports.

Re: Anyone seen these mirrors before?
Hard to believe but, it really changes the overall appearance of the car with them. I wonder how solid they are at higher speeds?

Re: Anyone seen these mirrors before?
I bought a brand new 1984 Z28 5.0 HO in 1984 and have never seen mirrors like that before either. My buddies berlinetta never had those either. What do you mean base model? Maybe I am confused..

Re: Anyone seen these mirrors before?
The sport mirrors were an option on the base models.
Camaro - Firebird = Base Models
Berlinetta - S/E = Middle End Models
Z-28 - Trans Am = High End Models
