Well, after finding the precious big mirrors AND the GMPP brake reservoirs by simply asking the right questions of the right people, I have yet to hear a peep about a passenger side mirror. Somehow I just don't want to have one larger than the other on the car, my Solstice GXP. I ping into the Sky forum on occasion to see what's up with the mirrors and what's up with the Sky crew.
I'm sure if Bob or John hear of one, or feel like setting one free back into the wild, they may remember to let me know. 😉 Hopefully I'll still be around. After all it's COVID-19 time, and this is Florida...
Take care and stay safe. We have more to do with these little cars and have more fun along the way. Now let's go out there and polish the polish while we can.

I am really surprised none of the passenger side mirrors haven't turned up on the forum. I know they were on Source One for about a year. If @Davham can get a hold of Chris Price, I am pretty sure he bought one. Might try that avenue.
I put the euro splitters on my car last week. We did not mold them to the body. I want to see if I really like the look before I destroy a brand new bumper. Will try to get pictures of them soon. Still need to redo the wrap that was removed to put them on.
I just bought a new E lectric mountain bike. Out the front door and ride 20 miles and never see another human being. Really beginning to like this stay at home stuff. lol

And again thanks Rich for finding both of these rare items.
I have yet to run into anyone with a Sky that has wanted the HP Brake booster. None of my auto cross buddies see any need for them. Must be a Solstice thing. lol
I did put mine on though.
Yes 2015, and lot of them posted on this site. I will look to see if I have the box, but I know I don't have the passenger side number, but if I remember correctly it was either one above or below the other. I need to go to the garage and look.
The box came from:
Blessinger Automotive
118 N 1000 E
Celestine, Indiana 47521
No part numbers included. I order 4 of them, and have used two. I do think they are still for sale on line. Originally the passenger side sold for 50 bucks if I remember correctly. Was a great deal, as I paid 400.00 for each set I got from Marvic. The ones on line are 199.00 for a single driver side mirror the last time I looked.
As far as a large mirror on one side and not the other, you will notice with out doubt. But if painted to match the car I seriously doubt anyone would notice. And I am serious car show person. My eye catches things like that quickly.
But for the additional safety I would do it on the driver side. But that is just me.

I traced them back to the manufacturer 4 or 5 years ago. They stated only a few were made. I don't know what a few meant, but the following years order was not filled/or even ordered. Could not get that out of them either. The worst information they gave me was that they were not used on any other vehicles. I have seen some that are similar, but have never seen anything exactly like them. And I look all the time.
All of mine came in black.

I think the only place to find the passenger side mirror is on this site. No way to advertise you are looking for one, other than on this site. I know quite a few were talking about buying them, and one ex poster said he thought in a few years the driver side would show up. He was absolutely correct.
JohnWR, what do you want for your set. I know you haven't put them on yet, or you put one on and you thought it stuck out. I am looking at a Coupe that if I buy, I would want to put the mirrors on.
Or I am sure there are others on here that would buy them from you. I would guess that you can get 500.00 out of a set pretty easily.

While I have not yet put the mirrors on a car, it is not because I have decided I don't want to, but because there has been so much going on that I haven't gotten to it.
If I do decide to sell them, which I will not do until I no longer own a Sky (read: never), I have already given someone else right of first refusal.

One of the things on my project list for that mythical time when I have time to do optional things, is to duplicate the large mirror housing. With a housing and a custom mirror (which is relatively easy to get) a standard mirror could be converted. Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath.

If you could mimic the mirror in the large ones, it would be a huge improvement of the stock mirror. It isn't so much the size, but the actual view the mirror provides. You won't notice it until you put them on the car. Some how the view to the side is increased, more so on the driver's side it seems to me.
