The Chevrolet Cavalier with M3 Style Mirrors

Cavaliers replaced the Chevrolet Monza, which was available as a 2-door coupe, a 3-door hatchback and a 3-door wagon (using the same body as the discontinued Chevrolet Vega wagon, the model it replaced). The inexpensive Chevrolet Chevette was retained even as sales declined, and was formally replaced by even smaller captive imports.  Many modifications can be done to the Chevrolet Cavalier to make it look sportier and perform better.

Installing M3 style mirrors is one of those neat projects that can really add some spice to the look of your (make and model) without taking up too much of your time. The total install time for a pair of M3 style mirrors should be less than two hours.  

Aftermarket mirrors are available in different materials, including FRP plastic, carbon fiber and fiberglass. Plenty of different styles are available such as D1 style, F1 style and M3 styles. You can also get them in manual or electric, and get them with or without LED turn signals built in.

The toughest part of the job is actually finding a set of mirrors that will match your body color. If your (make and model) is white or black, there are usually aftermarket mirrors available in those two colors. Any other color will need to be custom-painted to match your body paint.

Some aftermarket mirrors are manufactured with an additional lamp in the side. This can be wired to either to your parking lamps or your turn-signal lamps. Either one requires additional wiring to be threaded through the door, so I usually don't recommend this approach. Most of the cars I've seen with lamps in the side of the mirrors don't actually have them connected-they're just for show.

Both platforms had conventional rear-drive layouts which suffered in comparison with more efficient front wheel drive offerings such as the Dodge Omni and Honda Civic. Ford and Chrysler also introduced new front drive compacts. The largely successful mission of capturing the bulk of domestic compact sales would fall on the Cavalier's 2-door coupe, 4-door sedan and 4-door station wagon.
