Does anyone know if the Bonneville front facia where the foglights area is is wide enough for the our rides? I thought I had seen an OCC with those fog lights but now I cant find a picture of it. Before you all jump on me,I realize tweaking it to fit would be involved.Lol...Thanks in advance...Andy

Not wide enough. You're thinking of Sean Usoff's OCC.

He took the Bonneville fog light housings and molded them into his OCC bumper:

Girls are amazed at the things I do with my small mirrors. Wink


Only my Fleetwood has the big ones and I don't really notice much difference.

The difference is looks mostly. The small mirrors just look thrown on at the last minute.

Maybe a dumb question but,do you have to switch doors to get the big mirrors?

Yes.

Or weld the holes and such.


Switching doors is easier.

But for an OCC like Sean, he welded the mirror portion up because he wanted to keep the cladding.

All you need is the mirror and the 95-6 door trim that has the holes for the mirror instead of the 91-4 style. The plug is the same and all.

I like the little mirrors. It reminds me of the GM cars that I grew up with in the 70's & 80's.

Small mirrors suck both functionally and aesthetically.

The only thing they are good for is keeping the vehicle road legal until the later ones can be added...

Huh... I like the small mirrors and looked for a 94 because of them if your used to motorcycle mirrors then they are huge. Jeff

So I guess 70's & 80's camaro's, corvette's, etc. all look silly?

Nope. Those cars had mirrors that fit them.

My replies pertain to the small mirrors on the 91-94 B Body cars and NOTHING else. I thought that much was pretty obvious.

The other thing I've noticed is that my bumper is a Caprice bumper. The third seat is vinyl and radio is a Buick radio. Build date is April 12, 1992. Curious and curiouser.

Bumper was most likely swapped at some point. The OCC Bumper isn't easy to find.

Cloth 3rd row was an option - not standard.

Buick radio is probably a swap as well. Lots of things can go bad on a car in 20+ years.

I couldnt agree with you more plus a small spot in the lower left corner of both mirrors eliminates any blind spots.The small mirror cars dont look like dumbo the elephant coming at you either!
