while these (corvette) mirrors look good they don't have the running lights or turn indicator. They are still pretty close to the same look as the fiero mirrors. Thanks!

Why cant we get ahead? GRRRR we were exploring alternative options on the wide body I am building. We were looking at options to mount our mirrors on the Door pillar like that but now we are in a dilemma. I promise we aren't trying to copy you on anything but I guess we have the same tastes.

I will be using powered F430 mirrors on one of my Meras. Is a F430 sexy enough to qualify? BTW, I do have a spare set of Vitaloni power mirrors and they may be sexier than the stock mirrors.

The 3rd Gen Corvette will almost bolt up but they will hang at the wrong angle. They are not much better anyway except that they are painted and have heat.
People will argue endlessly on this point, but they will not bolt up at the correct angle. I know I tried it.
I added lights to mine as well.
I also on another car used the 96 Oldsmobile Aurora, which do not bolt up at the right angle either but the attachment point can be easily modified.

Well I'm making some progress on my sexy mirror mission. I recently came into a Gen 5 Camaro mirror:
when placing it where the old mirror was it looks like I will be able to make an adapter so it will fit the original. Certainly, there will be some additional and rewiring of the current mirror. Anyone out there with a gen 5 mirror schematic would be helpful.
My hope is to make the adapter for this swap from the OEM mirror and replace them with a much more expensive set of mirrors that has all the features for which i am looking.
My thought is to use modeling clay to press into the plate holding the current mirror and pressing the c5 mirror where it will look right. I will then carefully remove the clay and machine the adapter. Ultimately, it would be ideal if I could use the same wiring as the Fiero OEM. The Oracle ones though are going to need additional wiring.[This message has been edited by kgoodyear (edited 12-14-2017).]

If you can send the the measurements, I can design a 3d printable adapter.
