Lol.. I have not done the C5 mirrors yet either, but I am doing something with the C4 mirrors. As for that cover, it has been on my list for probably 7 years

The mirrors were painted red probably in 2011 for the 90 and never installed. Then repainted black for the 95 in 2016, and still not installed. [emoji38] I got the adapters from that guy with a shop that I can’t even remember. I think it was Corvette Fever magazine that told me how to rewire from C5 to C4. No balls to drill holes in my door I guess. Yep! I’m on my arse! [emoji38]. Don’t even ask me about the ported top end, headers, coilovers, and stereo all in boxes.

Maybe you’ll get ‘er done during this Covid-19 thing. 🤙🏼

You got the adapters from the same place I got mine.. are you still going to install the mirrors? Might be interested if you don’t...

This no joke, I came upon the scene of accident in a rural area, high speed t-bone type of wreck, one of the cars had bookshelf speakers on the rear deck I presume. They went right through the windshield like it was not there. Luckily? for the driver of that car he went through the drivers window somehow.

That’s right, you told me where to get them. I’ll install the mirrors one day. As you know I have a crazy life moving around the world every two years so just can’t seem to make time. Final move coming soon. Thanks!

Wow! I can imagine that and it would probably do some big damage depending on speed and impact.

Default 100 W amplifier upgrade for fronts

For those that are interested in finding these C5 100 watt amps, I was working with Secondchance to confirm these are the same in the 97-04 C5 door speaker assemblies. One of the Corvette Recyclers told me he doesn’t sell the amps separately, but he sells the whole assembly. So I took a chance and bought one and it was cheaper than just the amps.

So it arrived today and it was like finding a prize in a box of Cracker Jacks. [emoji38]. I’ll just toss the rest in the trash.

Thanks again Yun for the mod tips.
