I wouldnt mind trying to do it too. I like the fact that it has the Temp gauge on it. I think those mirrors has the digital compass read out on them too right? I could be wrong. I remember my `95 Tahoe had a temp and compass read out if i remember correctly. Might be a future project for me lol

IMO it's worth it. I always liked this mirrors. This one has. Temp/comp/auto dim. This 3 features work perfect.
To make sure it works properly it has to be calibrated. Or the comp will read wrong.

IMO GM would of done this from the factory. It
Looks good

Looks great, I just wish you had kept the red lip on the wheel. C5Z's don't look right all black.

Maroboy boy mod.

Seems alot of people like this idea

Musclecarnut711.

Tie right man. It looked good with the red lip. But after a while I didn't like it.
When I lower the car I might put it back again.

I also was thinking on putting a chevy logo on the center of the rim.

I think you should put the red line back on the wheels, but make the line thinner. Make it kind of thin to where its noticeable, but not as bold. I think with that and lowering it, it should look REAL nice!

+1 on the "Maroboy mod" hahaha

I think with the all black theme. The tips stick out a lot and look out of place.
