Sport mirrors on a Gen 1 Camaro?
 

I currently have the standard chrome mirrors on my Camaro. I am going to have some paint work done, and am considering having sport mirrors painted at the same time.
I think Gen 2 mirrors are what some people use on the Gen 1 cars. Are they a direct fit? I.E. is the door skin angle is the same so they sit level? Do they, by chance, use the same or similar mounting brackets? In other words, can they be installed & changed back if I decide?
Or, is there a better choice of mirror? I want a stock looking type rather than something more "swoopy" or aero, like some of the custom mirrors. Power or cable op adjustable is not needed.

Thanks for the education!

they work just fine just turn the gasket 180 degrees

I was hoping so! Best place you've found to buy them?



THANKS!!

i just installed a pair on a 69. Shaved a little bit off the bottom edge to get them to sit like I wanted.

Which one or who's did you use?

OER brand

Mounting points are different. I used OER as well and drilled the two mounting holes so the mirror covers the existing holes, as well as to be positioned correctly. Good tip on shaving the bottom edge.

These are a good deal @ $175/pr. vs. the $300 for a new set. By the description, they are used. Have you bought from them? Happy with the quality?

I have a used set of bullet mirrors from a Buick GS/Skylark that I'd be willing to sell. I'm not sure they will work for this application though.
