Anyone want/Find aftermarket mirrors for the Aveo??

I was curious if anyone had swapped out the Aveo side mirrors for anything else?

Would you be interested in a mounting piece that allowed us to use mirrors from anyone that would fit a 2001-2005 Honda Civic/ 2002-2005 Civic Si?

I ask cause I picked up a "gimme" set from work that I plan on building an adapter for to fit the Aveo.

They are M3 style that I have... but I'm making adapters so you can use any mirrors from a civic 2002-2005... make Honda parts universal for us to use.

Okay... so a "universal" adapter plate is a real Pain in the Ass...

But I'll post pics of the mirrors that I'm working on.

My pattern plate, made from foamcore board.

Once cutout, I will fiberglass the mirror base to the new wood plate to finish into a final looking piece.

They weren't quite Gimmes as they were replacements for something else I bought. I originally bought a Liquidation CF hood I was gonna modify for the Aveo, but the liquidation comp[any that came in took it on accident, but forgot those, so I took those instead of the hood.
