Bullet Sport Mirrors

[PRJCTMC]

Hi everyone.

 

Has anyone purchased and installed the sport mirrors from The Parts Place #xp2613m??

 

I want to know how they fit/look. Pricey and wanna know if they’re worth it. I saw there was a discussion on this on here back in 2010, but seemed like nobody got them back then.

I would call and verify they have them in stock before ordering. I have a reproduction lh sport mirror from Year one https://www.yearone.com/Product/1964-72-chevelle-monte-carlo-el-camino/rm331 it fits good. The main things is you need the correct gasket and the base needs to be right. I brought a used set think they came off a mid 80's Trans Am and they would sit right on the door even after trimming down the base.

Year One has them?? They have both sides? Guess I can look that up myself since u said you got one from Year one haha. I’ve heard people use others and shave the base. I’ve seen some people post but the angle seems off.

The link you posted if for a Chevelle... from my understanding they have a different angle since the doors are different.

Jeffery the difference is in the gasket. I have the Year one mounted on the door. The Monte gasket is a little thicker on one side then then the other where the Chevelle gasket is the same thickness. Most  Chevelle parts will work on our Monte's as its the same design just a little tweak. Next time I'm out in the shop I'll grab a couple of pictures of  the mirror. I know a few years back OPGI had the same mirror kit, but now they only have the left side which makes me think the right side couldn't be made https://www.opgi.com/monte-carlo/1971/mirrors-hardware/outside-mirrors/CH27054/ If you compare the OPGI and the Year One mirror you'll see they are the same.
