Default Aftermarket mirrors>?>

I hate the Camaro mirrors. They are to big, bulky and plain looking to me. Does anyone out there make aftermarket mirrors for us? Kind of like these http://www.sportcompactonly.com/prod...=2623&c=41&l=2, only not for a Honda. If you think it's rice I don't care so don't bother posting your opinion I'm only looking for links to buy or how-to pics/sites. Thanks

it would be tough to get aftermarket mirrors for the camaro. the fenders kind of blend into the mirrors.

Well I talked to my cf guy and I think I may just get them wrapped. The fender issue is the killer I think.

Talk about one of the biggest of all rice mods...please don't do CF, it won't match any part of the rest of your car, and it will always look dirty

Didn't one of the sponsors on here install LED turn signals into factory mirrors? Maybe that would spruce things up a bit.

No way to replace them with anything else on the camaro because of the fenders, like everyone has said.

I think CF would look pretty good, but I'm a fan of it.

Blackhawk TA, how would it not match the rest of my car?
I will be having a VFN 3in SS hood painted silver with the 3in SS hood scoop covered in CF and left exposed, RKSport CF grille, (debating) wrapping my black Berger panel in CF, along with the entire interior wrapped in silver aluminized fiberglass and black carbon fiber...I think it follows the theme pretty well. Don't bother posting your "rice" comments in this thread to bash my description I just typed. This IS the appearance section and you have no idea what is planned for the motor. The mirrors will be wrapped, that is that. This thread could be closed =)

i believe in order for you to come to the conclusion that it wouldnt mnatch the rest of his car.....wouldnt you need to know what all was done to his car first and see some pics? hes got a CF theme goin, and it would look good. check out 99silverz on here, hers got CF mirrors and they looks tight.

SVT THIS just like on the WS6ZXR board you are coming off as a complete ******* everytime you tell people you dont care about their opinions. If you dont want to hear their opinions dont post on a public board. Now with that said...I have seen a camaro with CF wrapped mirriors. although im not big on CF, I can see how some would like it. Also in my opinion (dont care if you like it or not) the CF on the hood berger panel and grill would be super rice.

Also from reading some of your previous posts iv come to the conclusion that your a ricer at heart. lol Lets see you wanted to remove all of your interior and rhino line the inside of your car,(which you actually did)... you want to put a cage in a 13 sec car. all the CF work you want done. and you always talk about the motor your going to build. So lets see here

1. doing unessecary mods to a not very fast car...ricer
2. Always talking about building a bad machine and never doing it...ricer
3. getting pissed off when ever someone doesnt like something you have done to your car...ricer

lets face it man you have got super black Ricer AIDS.

you dont know what he has previously said. he always being very rude when people voice their opinions. I never called him an ******* i simply said he was coming off as an ******* when he tells people that their opinion is worthless.

As for the rest of what i said, Yes i was being an *******. Hopefully SVT THIS will see the humer in what i said as it was ment as a joke.

later,

Bad02WS6, I am glad you are finally starting to see my plan. I want the riciest car in all of Oklahoma. I want Chinese kids to follow me and Japanese kids to sacrfice their pets in my name. You and your infinite wisdom on what I should and shouldn't do to my car is amazing. I have never met someone who can tap so deeply into my soul. I do not know what I would do without your guidance.


So you think my car will be ricey, lick my nuts because I don't give a rats **** what you think

Mods feel free to lock this thread ASAP because Bad02WS6 does this to any thread of mine he sees and I have all the info I need.

Thanks to the other's who sent the PM's regarding my inteior and the links to the products I was asking for.
