I blew their online photo up to their stated dim and tried it against my '71 mirror. Looked so good i ordered one and its a match. A lot smaller than my modern stuff but better than the OEM Flat. Dose protrude a little but better than getting in a wreak

76+ Camaro/Firebird passenger side glass is convex and also fits the 71-72 Cutlass/442 sport mirrors 70 are completely different.

Not long after I got my ragtop, I installed a set of mid-80's G-body mirrors on my doors - full remote driver side, convex view passenger side (with the warning language printed there upon). Total investment less than $100 and perfect retro-fits.

80’s G-body mirror basses do not line up with the shape of the 70-72 doors. It holds the mirror head at the wrong angle.
