People ask all the time if Fiero and Camaro mirrors are interchangable. I took these pics to show the difference between the two. Driver's side is a Fiero mirror, passenger side is a Camaro mirror





Notice how much the Camaro mirror is tilted downward.

What about the C4 mirrors. Do they hang down like the Camaro mirror or are they more like the Fiero mirror?

Lol it does look like that, it's just the garage door

Those pics also show how bad I need new dew wipes (among other things), you can see on the driver's side there's a little bit of it left toward the mirror

ooo lots of goodies.
i think it looks kinda goofie with the camaro mirrors. having them sloped down just looks odd.
tho they look exatcly the same as the fiero mirrors :P just on a weird angle. i found out that some of the camaro parts will work with the fiero. swapped out the seats. see if they fit. only thing doesnt fit are the rims. i tryed lol. wrong bolt pattern. im wounderig if the steering wheel will fit. i havnt tryed.

Pretty sure its the mounting rubber gasket that makes yours hang down like that. With the correct one it sets more level, same with early C4s. Ones ive seen were almost perfect, not anything like you show. I think Minn's are off a C4.

ok i just whent out to take alook at the difference in the gasket thing. they are different then the fieros.
fiero is wider/bigger. the camaros are more slim and less hidden then the fieros. it doesnt wrap around the car as much as the fieros does.
ill take video tommorrow. its dark out. then you will know what i mean
