Re: 4th gen mirrors

Not sure 4th gen mirrors work - they are funny shaped to matcvh the hood line. But I've seen many Vette mirrors installed. If you search "4th gen mirrors" and don't get any threads, then it doesn't work.

Re: 4th gen mirrors

I know people have put the 4th gen firebird mirrors on 3rd gen firebirds. You could obviously put them on camaros too if you want. I'm not sure about 4th gen camaro mirrors. They probably mount the same, but they would look unfinished as they were designed to flow with the fender.

I did a search & some said they fit with minor mods, i wanna see how it looks on a 3rd. Yeah i saw some with vette mirrors, kinda remind me of the European style mirrors that they use on the thirds over their.

Yeah. I've seen several with 3rd gens with 4th hen Firebird side mirrors, but never a 3rd gen with 4th gen Camaro fenders. The way it blends with the Camaros fenders, it wouldn't look right on a 3rd gen.

Re: 4th gen mirrors

How bout a 4th gen camaro or '96 impala on a '91/'92 Firebird/Formula/GTA since its rounder than other third gens?

Re: 4th gen mirrors

As much as it pains me to mention the name, I think redraif did it a number of years ago to her 'bird. Posted a write up on it as well, I think.
