Re: What do you think of the mirrors?
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+!

Re: What do you think of the mirrors?
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.

Re: What do you think of the mirrors?
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.

Re: What do you think of the mirrors?
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. Craig
