Grand Am mirrors on an Alero?

[bratch15]

Since Grand Ams are sister cars, will Grand Am GT mirrors fit on an Alero. I remember seeing someone on here or Cardomain install Grand Am mirrors, and they look nice on Aleros.

[sound_xtreme]

ya, i got em on mine. bolt up and plug right in. theyre a bit backward as far as the controls. i dunno if manual mirrors would be the same, but id guess so

[teflone]

yeah they fit..

And the weird controls, is that our power mirror little motor pad has two axis's
Grand ams use the opposite axis as us..
move the grand am axis to the opposite sides. (There is two arrows, one of them is up, put the other arrow up) which is 90 degrees off of the other one.. mirror removed of course

Or flip the wires in the power mirror harness.... lol..

Whatever is easier for ya

[p1mptress]

Yep i have them on my car and they fit right on with no problems.

[bratch15]

Also, how did you guys go about take the mirror off. Looks like a real F'ing pain.

[sound_xtreme]

pull the tweeter pod out, and theres three nuts behind that. unplug it(if power) and take the nuts off

[p1mptress]

nope you just pull off the tweeters speaker things. Unsnap the harness. Then untwist the bolts (and make sure to hold the mirror) the mirror should pop right off. And then just put the new mirror on.

[bratch15]

Thats good news....thanks everyone. Hey sound_extreme, are you goin to the meet in Aug in NJ that Naich is holding? I was tryin to meet up with someone and follow them because I am most likely going by myself. If you shoot across 80 through PA, I could meet someone on 80

[sound_xtreme]

uh, definetly not

[p1mptress]

I think you should go to ASS in lansing, MI this June!

[bratch15]

I'm thinking about it...It's just a long drive for me. If I could get my g/f to go or one of my friends, I would probably go. How many people actually show up at the ASS?

[p1mptress]

i dunno this is going to be the first time i'm going. I'm going to grab a friend and drag them with me for the long ass drive.

[bratch15]

Hey... do you have a cardomain.. I would like to see your car.

my guess is it would look like poo.

[cavaliers60]

Malibu's have a more boxy shape while our mirrors are more round.... wouldn't look all that great.

[El_Diablo]

boxy? ;)

im looking for something smaller instead of mickey mouse ears... hate dual post mirrors though

[2fst4u]

anyone ever tried bolting on malibu mirrors on the alero? the def. look better than stock alero ones. cavalier ones would be even better, tho.

[Redog]

Go to ASS. Far drive? I drive from Philly every year, so quit bitching :lol:

[Alero_Mod]

Totally doing this mod very soon, Looking for cheap mirrors or links?? Any suggestions? I am i n CANADA though..

[Mischief007]

Looking at some pictures of the Grand Am mirrors, and they don't really flow that well with the car. Maybe the pictures were too small...pimptress ;).

[kwhauck]

Man that blue alero looks pretty bad (mostly the color)....lol..It looks like a cross breed of a mustang, grand am, and alero..lmao

[kwhauck]

blue? umm.......1970 w-30 only agean aquapoly........

other than the wheels and mirrors i don't seen any grandam or mustang stuff........

haha nevermind i won't even question your views since you have a beat to hell alero with hubcaps and thought a 3800 was a small block v8........lol

[Vinalero]

The only thing that is too much with the green one is maybe the painted bezel in the same green. I wonder what it would have looked like with the bezels painted black since theres already some black on it.

I like those rims. If I remember correctly, this one was totalled?

[kwhauck]

yeah several people suggested that and somebody photochopped it with black bezels but i still like the aquapoly better, i think most people like the black bezels but it's my car so as cartman would say "neh......screw you buddy"

[bratch15]

did u paint your mirros kw or did you find a silver grand am?

[kwhauck]

mirrors were painted when the ghost pearl olds symbols were sprayed on...

[bratch15]

wow, I didnt even see the ghost olds symbol until you said that.....looks good. Did you paint them yourself? How much did the factory paint cost?

[cavaliers60]

boxy? ;)

I'm sorry.... I was thinking of the newer ones....

[cavaliers60]

I stand corrected again.... I think the mirrors might look ok on our cars (for the new Malibu)...

I didn't paint them and I got connections....i only paid for supplies.....:scpimp: so like $1200 for the emblem and entire repaint.....

I have to agree on the Retro Rocket, that color just looks funky. If it was all black, it would look real sleek, especially with the black wheels.

Your current car's license plate says N2OOLDS, doesn't it? Where's the nitrous on that supercharged monster? :) The only thing I don't like about your silver one is the stick-on (looks like it) hood scoops.

On topic, the Grand Am mirrors look pretty good on an Alero, but the new Malibu ones may not look too bad.

Old plates from previous owner who owned had nitrous, none now i want to make major power without nitrous plus i've seen the damage it can do to pistons.........i want my new plates to say WAPAH

As far as the scoops they are gone now, but they were not stick on scoops, they were scoops off the anniversary edition gtp, were fully functional, and cost like $250 a piece from GM.........

here's a better pic of the scoops........$250 a piece rediculous huh?

[[ion] C2]

Wowwee, insane prices.

[cavaliers60]

but if you look at the malibu and the alero, the malibu mirror mount is different.... I don't think it will work.... Not sure about older malibus though...

[El_Diablo]

well if the g6 mirrors fit the GA with minor modifacation... highly possible
