Finding mirror replacements

GT Tim · 08-17-2005

So I have been looking for replacement mirrors for my GT.I searched all over and think I found a decent looking new mirror at a cheap price.Well I think you should tell me.I paid 9.95 plus 11.95 shipping.Thanks Tim

I think that is one i used 2 years ago.I thin k i cut the adj ball a bit to get more angle up

It seemed ok on the drivers side as i recall, but it would not work on the passengers side, it doesnt stick up, out,and in enough

you can use it on the pass. side but you will need a curved stick on mirrror for angle

price is good and it has nice chrome on it,which always looks good on a gt

This mirror didn't need to be messed with to be functional.But I think it would look better 4 inches further towards the front.Being that I am going to repaint my car soon I am not worried about the 1 extra hole.Thanks for the info.

I had the same problem with my replacement mirror, it for some reason doesn't quite move far enough for a good view. I'll show you what i mean at the BBQ
