Default Mirror block off plates?

I'm wondering if anyone makes mirror block off plates. I'm shaving off the factory mirrors and going a different route. If I can't find any I will have to fab some up out of aluminum sheeting. Thanks in advance!

I'm gonna take the mirrors off after new years and use them as tempates for the block off plates. Guess I'll have studs welded on to mount them in the mirror holes and paint them to match the BCP window frames. Peep mirrors will be sweet cause they can be mounted up even with the center review mirror. Can't wait to see how these look and not having those big stockers out there cause'n wind resistance.

Thanks, I just got tired of hearing all that wind noise and seeing those huge mirrors sticking out.
Got a question??? Why do all the Overhauling cars not have side view mirrors. Do they get added later? Very strange.

On mine I have the 3" peeps and I used some E-Bay mirrors then filled the mounting hole.
Anybody that has seen the M3 mirrors knows what I mean.

I just pulled off one of the mirrors and see that the plug for the hole is gonna be much smaller than I thought. I'm prolly gonna make them out of plexi and paint them to match. Then stick them in place with some 3M double sided tape. Will post up some finished pics after I'm done. It should look sick with those little 4" mirrors mounted up higher than the stock ones were.
