I don't know if anyone did a tear down except the SEMA cars.

I would go with a black car.. and leave the engine compartment black with yellow accents. Oppisite of the outside.

I'd like to see these as an option. With a good curve, it is very possible that these could serve their function. You might need a focus lens as well as a reflecting lens for them to work. We'll just have to wait until the aftermarket decides to do this.

I might be wrong, but I don't know that mirrors as small as the concepts' would be legal due to federal regulations.

LSP2010 · 05-30-2009, 12:30 PM

i would like to have them

Camaro Lives On · 05-30-2009, 02:56 PM

The concept side mirrors are EPICLY small, incredibly dangerous, and an extremely stupid idea to put on a daily driver, esp. with the super huge blindspots that this car has!!!

That being said, hell yeah, I'll take 'em

infamous00827 · 05-30-2009, 09:32 PM

oh my goodness, i would love if the aftermarket would make these

The_Stache · 05-31-2009, 01:00 AM

Small side mirrors are not illegal, you just HAVE to have them, there is not statute dictating size..

I believe these will make the aftermarket, just because there is a market for them (safety withstanding).

NBD- simply have the mirrors painted later.

If these moron ricers can put F1 style mirrors on their cars, you guys can get away with the concept mirrors. However, they're dangerously small. I personally use my mirrors a LOT (unlike the rest of America).

kdoske · 05-31-2009, 08:00 PM

Found someone that is willing to make them. He would require a CAD file of the concept side view mirror and the production side view mirror. Does anyone know where they can be purchased or found?

P.S. he also said unless there was a massive interest they would be very expensive, like the 600-800 range--unpainted. :(

GothamCamaro · 05-31-2009, 09:48 PM

No thanks, the side mirrors are my only means of safety with the small rearview window.

POLL!!!

He says he will also need a CAD of the actual door as well to check and see if the pillar for the side view mirror can be made to look like the concept.
