Anything is possible!
I was thinkin about that too, but apon further investigation, the 4th gens seem like they would stick out too much on our cars, wouldnt go with the body too well. Never know untill ya try though!

hehe sorry but top secret!! all I can say is I plan to redo most of the body ... new headlights, new mirrors, new doorhandles, new gastank filler, new wing, and new taillights .....

here's how i plan to do the mirrors tho ... basically cut out a square where the mirror currently is, get a metal piece cnc machined to fill the hole (filler plate). find the mirrors u wanna use and drill into the plate accordingly for mounting holes. tack weld the plate back on, bondo, repaint, and attach mirror.

rick, why do you hate the thirdgen mirrors? i personally have gotten used to the shaking mirrors like in your sig pic since i put in the two twelves. sometime probably sooner then later they will rattle thereselves useless and the fourth gen mirrors sound interesting....

Nah, the mirrors on that green bird are kind of hideous. You could always shave the passenger side mirror like some 2nd gen f-bodies. I'll tell you the easiest way to do it.(CAUTION do not actually follow these instructions) First park a little too close to the side of the garage, then back out a little too fast. Trust me it works.
