My 2001 had 4 holes so no need to drill/cut.

I always liked this picture I found on fte of the comparison of the towing mirrors. This picture is pretty much why I decided to go the 08 plus mirrors.

I realize this an old thread but I was wondering if any of you that have bought these mirrors have any feedback on them? How are they holding up, any problems (quality wise or other) and do you have any shaking of the mirror glass going down the road?

I love them. Just got back from dragging the camper to the smokie mountains. I did not notice any shake, and I could see everything behind me fine. My next swap is the $60 craigslist 07 grille I scored. Winning
I will post when I'm done
good luck
Dave

I'm pretty sure they're way different than sock. They're probably closer to stock than sock... BTW, I want these mirrors...

here they are right now for $218 each + 7 shipping for you guys. No need to call some guy and get "hooked" up with pricing. Same parant company as the one the OP posted

I'm going to call them Monday and see what the shipping damages will be to me out where I live

I'm gonna guess shipping will put it right at what everyone else is charging. You could offer them a group deal... The peeps around here love some deals... As do I... If not let me know what they charge you and if it's cheaper than the ones I found, it's on....

when I call I'm also going to see if they'll still do 10% for Military. That way, even if they charged me $100 to ship, I'd still be close enough that I can justify the expense...and selling my 06 Tow mirrors will help defray the OUCH factor
