Thanks man and the folding mirror were very easy to install the hardest part is fitting the wires from the door to the inside of the car what a Pain in the a$$ but after that smooth sailing took me about 4 hours. if you decide to get them let me know i will be more than happy to help you out.

your welcome. did you get them off ebay? Yeah i know what you mean, i installed components in my front doors and couldnt run the wires through those rubber grommets so i just ran them through the outside next to the rubber grommets. Did you use a hanger? I saw someone else has a DIY on here for it. Thats good, i just recently debadged mine.

Yes I got them from ebay member nabory I believe hes called he now sells them whit the right side in convex and Objects are closer than they appear lettering they even come whit the heated option all for no extra charge and shipping was very fast. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/7A-07...item518cc08090 hahaha yes I had to use a hanger and disconnect the door harness from inside the car so i could pull the rubber thing out and ran the wires more easily.

Thanks Bro. Well an 19 year old girl backed her ford explorer in to my car at the mall parking lot and broke one of my headlights and broke the tabs of my bumper spoiler and her insurance gave me $1,200 for the damages so I was like hell might as well upgrade

AKM83 · 07-11-2011, 01:10 AM

^ ahh i see that makes sense...just curious because it's kind of expensive just to do for the hell of it when there's other more fun stuff to buy lol

Bills07CamLE · 07-11-2011, 10:41 AM

Did you paint them yourself? If so what did you use? Did you use the Dupli-Color Perfect match paints that you can get at auto parts stores and whats the part number of it or color code?

ImJustMe55 · 07-11-2011, 01:26 PM

Nice ride man. How do you like the mirrors? Do you have any issues of the mirrors vibrating more than the stock ones?

Well the passenger side mirror does not vibrate at all but the driver side vibrates a little when you are at a stop light but is hardly noticeable. Over all the work and look great like if the came from the factory.
