If the door panel wasn't so involved to remove, for $50 I would try a pair on my car. They may not look like they belong, but if they offered a better field of view & no vibrations...I could get used to them. JMHO

Ideally the mirrors should be up on the peaks of the fenders so you see behind & to the side while you look straight ahead..... The greenwood stuff I'm not a fan of specially at 1k+!

Mirrors look o.k. but I have a question, The third tail light in the middle of the rear panel, is it an option or custom addition? I have a black 1990 zr-1 and the third brake light is above the rear window glass.

all the regular corvettes got the CHMSL in the tail light panel after 90. All the ZR-1's got the CHMSL on the halo bar till the end of the run in 95. 86? thru 90 standard corvettes all used the halo mounted CHMSL. I think they switched the CHMSL's location on the regular corvettes because they stole our square tail lights in 91. I think they needed some visual aid to distinguish a ZR-1 from a standard vette after 91....since they stole our rear styling.

Jeff,

Sorry, I know we have been talking about this it seems for a few years. I might end up being your guinea pig as you know I need breakaway mirrors for Japan. I have the C5 mirrors from a 99 and looking for a paint shop now so I can get these bolted on. I will do the wiring if time permits. I don't really care for the ones shown, but I think the C5s will look good based on mock up. As you know, opinions are like................

I'll keep you posted.

Thanks Craig.. looking forward to see yours when done

Jeff,

Having not really driven my Z over the past few years during my "BIG" project of Operation Rebuild, now I really understand why you want to can the mirrors on the C4. IMHO it is a poor design and I don't care much for the look, but more importantly the viewing area and design. Compared to my other cars, I don't like the side view visibility regardless of adjustment. I'm taking my C5 mirrors to the paint shop today for color match. I don't think I will get them back prior to shipping the car, but will keep you posted once I mount them and provide some feedback.
