No, you can not use one from a camaro. Check out the parts classifieds there are a few t/a part outs going on I believe.

The plastic housing on mine is in great shape because it was repainted. If i got a different color mirror can you change just the mounting bracket inside? In other words, just swap my black "shell" and mirror? I'm not sure what is wrong with mine because i was unable to remove it the last time i tried because the previous owner used some epoxy or something and it's quite stuck on.

So its only the actual mirror part your trying to replace? not the whole body panel right?
But yeah that doesnt sound right, the whole thing should come right off after you remove the three nuts.

Yeah, something is wack inside the mirror assembly. I went outside just now and was going to try and remove it again and noticed that there's some adhesive at the bottom probably holding it on. I just want it to sit flush like normal. I guess i won't know what the deal is until i'm able to get it removed.

Mine was crazy glued to the side of the car after the previous owner took out a mailbox or something. That was fun to get off and replace lol.

93-97 pontiacs have mirrors that have a slight blue tint to them, whereas the 98 -02 do not.
