lol Newayz.. I took a couple measurements of my friends 5th gen and drove up to my car and measured the mirrors... wanted to take a mirror off of my friends car and take it with me to hold it up to my car but he didnt want to drive around all day w/o a mirror.. cant blame him for that.. I tried to be as exact as possible but I was using a yard stick and that made it a little harder the part that I measured was the triangle where the mirror bolts to the side of the vehicle you know what I am talkin about. the 1st measurements are the length of the bottom of the triangle.. where it is parrallel with the groung, the 2nd measurement is the side of the triangle facing the front of the vehicle and the 3rd measurement is the side of the triangle facing the rear of the vehicle 5th gen measurements 5 7/8 inch 8 inch 5 1/2 inch 6th gen measurements 6 1/2 inch 8 1/2 inch 5 7/8 inch I also calculated the angles for these triangles.. the 1st angle is the corner on the bottom facing the front of the vehicle. the 2nd angle is the corner on top. and the 3rd is the angle of the corner on the bottom facing the rear. 5th gen angles 43 degrees 46 degrees 91 degrees 6th gen angles 43 degrees 50 degrees 87 degrees what all this means is that the 5th gen mirrors are smaller than the 6th gen's on the mounting point.. the triangle of the 5th gen fits inside the 6th gen's one.. the dimesions of the triangles are not perportional but it will still fit inside with both of the bottom sides being level... so the mirror wont have a funny angle to it.. the only real problem I see is that there will be a small gap where the mirrors mount on to he vehicle. this can be filled in with body filler or fiberglass pretty easy thought.. you might also be able to attach the mounting part of the 6th gen mirror to the 5th gen but would have to look into this... If neone is interested I could post photos of the triangles to make this a little easier to understand. --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |
