Default Camaro with different sideview mirrors

My future plans for my future camaro involves lambo doors. I know the sideview mirrors flows with the design of the front fenders so they would have to be modded to accept any kind of lambo door kit. I'm thinkin of either using TA or vette sideview mirrors. Think it will look good?

You will get mixed feelings on lambos here. I think they are ok.

Let's focus on the issue of side mirrors.

Give pics of what you would like to use.

i dont think any of those would work. the vette ones will look way outta place, and so will the ta ones. your best bet, if anything, would be to shave that part of the front fender that meets the mirror so that the stock mirror clears through its rotation.

and for the love of god, make sure you get the doors that go straight up, and do not flare to the side at all.

they look like ******* peacocks trying to get a mate!!

I've thought about changing the mirrors, you'd need a whole new side panel though. IT would flow with the lines if done right. A lot of work though..

i personally want gullwing doors seen here at gtfactory.com i think or factorygt.com either way i think gm fucked up the entire camaro with those hidious mirrors and fenders. If i bought a camaro i would mold the second half of a firebird fender onto it and use like you said either ta or vette mirrors or an aftermarket mirror thats tasteful. Can anyone photoshop?

F-body doors are too long, making any vertical door kit look fugly.

I believe that's a wingdoor lambo kit, the only kit id waste money on. Everything else would look weird and half ***. I've seen a SOM TA on here with C5 sideview mirrors and it looked pretty good.
