Yes, those guys.

If you go to the Vendor forum you will see where Tony has quite a few threads for mirrors listed. Most of us go for the '08+ mirrors.

You want to look for the mirrors with the PTM caps (paint to match).

No, they are the '08+ style mirrors, but those ones have the textured caps.
These ones https://www.1aauto.com/ford-mirror-pair/i/1amrp00611 have both the chrome and smooth PTM caps.

Yes, I am recommending the 1aAuto mirrors, mine have been perfect for the past 4 years, plug and play with zero vibrations and no mirror distortion, virtually OEM quality.
There are cheaper alternatives on eBay, but I have read some mixed reviews on them, mostly distortion problems.

I am a little upset with A1. Went back and forth with them on the phone and email about their 08 mirror. It is listed for 03 and up. I asked them why and if it would work. First response from their tech was "yes and all you would have to do is run your clearance lights and it will still be covered under warranty." I called up there to order and tell them that the online won't let me select 02 Excursion and how do I do it so I will still be covered if there is an issue. They look into it again and say "They will not fit due to the mounting holes are different between 02 and 03." I called Torador_Diesel and talked to him then made the order anyway calling my truck and 03. They bolted right up and even had the flat plug in the door like the 03 and up have. Ran my wires and everything works like it should. I just wish people would get their info straight.

Rant off.
