I installed some aftermarket side mirrors today.
My other aftermarket mirrors had become badly weathered.
I originally changed them out due to my wife breaking off the passenger mirror, she said she hit a bird, and I refused to pay the price for the OEM replacement.

I spent a lot of time looking at side mirrors on cars and trying to find what size "vent" section would fit. I took a gamble and ordered:
1995-2004 Chevrolet Cavalier 2 Door Manual Adjust K6 Side Sport View Mirrors w/Side Amber/Blue LED Signals Functions
The mirrors are smaller and there is less view than stock.
I bought just the manual mirrors. The set I had previous were powered.
I did not hook up the blue lights, used the yellows as running lights.

Look at this on eBay:

For 95-04 Cavalier 2Dr Manual Adjust K6 Mirrors w/Side Amber/Blue LED Signals

Hey Mark,
Those look nice but I have a couple of questions for you;
1) you mentioned that the previous mirrors you had were electric, were they also from a Cavalier?
2) Have you noticed less wind noise with the new mirrors?

I had a Diablo style mirror before that was power with 2sets of LEDs.
I used one as running and the other as a blinker.
They were universal mirrors also but with an adapter that fit next to the last generation s10 blazer. The cavalier adapters fit a bit better than the S10.
Wind noise compared to stock....I don't remember, replaced them 3 years ago.
