They are completely different mirrors
They are really expensive and not worth changing IMHO

I have to assume he is referring to the chrome caps on the upper portion of the mirrors that are on trucks like the Platinum, or one with the chrome package.

They sell them on eBay as dress up kits for the standard mirrors...

I bought a pr. of chrome caps off E-Bay for about $20.00. They fit and look good, stick on with 3-M tape. This is for my 12 250 Lariat. krazy_horse

I have rough roads where I live. Those with a tape stickers will not stay on and it will fall off. I wish someone would make chrome skull caps with clips and it will stay on. It would be like a factory chrome cap.

I guess what I have. I have just called them mirror caps since a normal mirror doesn't have anything.

I put chrome camps on mine about 6 weeks ago. I thoroughly cleaned the mirror with alcohol. They actually fit better than I thought they would. I waxed them up real well and they have a good finish. A south Louisiana summer will be the real test. I paid less than $30 with free shipping from ebay.

You ain't chitting, if they'll stay on down here ( south Ms./ La.) in the summer, they'll stay on anywhere.

Looks good BTW

I will add that the double stick tape that came with my covers were pretty thin and questionable I added some good commercial grade 3M tape and wasn't shy about the amount that I used. I'm pretty sure that if they fall of it will be because the mirror itself fell off.

I purchased the complete covers off of Ebay for around $32 delivered.

I hate those chrome caps and I sand/paint them black as soon as I get the truck home from the dealer.

They look nice but the sun finds a way to glare off them and it bothers me. I also don't like the reflection while I'm driving, they reflect everything I'm driving around and the perceived motion always makes me look. Any time I see motion I'm drawn to look.
