Hi, I have the car listed above Sport Coupe G bodyand both side view mirrors are shot. I'm not looking to throw originals onto the car due to their price but when I look at aftermarket ones there's tons that look similar but I don't know if the bolt holes would match up. I'm just looking for a decent chrome set but I need to know if they'll fit or not.
Here's a picture of both mirrors.

Hi,

I hate to say it, but you will have to trust the manufacturer if they are direct fit or not. That's a tough one for me because I have no information on the ones you are interested in getting. Is there something specific you have found? Are there specifications indicated?

Let me know,
Joe
