Default New Roadster Shop Billet Products

Here is an early look at some of the new billet product line coming from the Roadster Shop. All products shown below are in the final proto-type phases and plan to have products ready for delivery by the end of November.

Billet Mirrors: On every car that we build, we struggle to find anything remotely cool for mirrors that fit the modern, pro-touring look. So, we designed something to fill the void. These are designed to use the stock mirror mounts and locations and have been fit on GM A Bodies, Camaros and Novas. Locates the mirror in the stock location for great visability.

Shown with a 3.5" mirror, but will also be available with a larger 4.5" mirror.

A matching rearview mirror mount will also be available.

The mirrors are a great idea. I actually like the originals but they are just cheap junk. I'll switch them out in a heartbeat.

Is there any way to spec a longer splined section to reach through thick repro deluxe door panels?

That is definitely part of the design. This is the biggest problem with what is currently available. There are shallow splines with a set screw that holds the handle in place. Any custom interior door panel is going to be thicker than stock and that does not allow enough spline to grip. I can't tell you how many cars we have that we are constantly re-tightening and adjusting door and window handles. Some have gotten to the point where the handle will not stay on and it is kept in the glove box until needed!

As cool as your new parts are I prefer a more stock look in billet parts. I like it when the part still retains the flavor of the stock part but with a twist and doesn't stray too far!
