C-betr mirrors
Has anyone tried C-betr mirrors? I ordered a pair the other day and had them the next day (shipped from Dallas to Houston std UPS). I mounted them on my new 05 CC PSD long bed yesterday and these things are amazing. I have no ties to the product or place I bought them from. Just heard about them and decided to try them. It really made a difference in my situation awareness while driving this beast. Just thought it was a great product that others on the FTE site might want to look into. Here is a link to the site I got mine from: http://qwks.com/xcart/customer/produ...3&cat=4&page=1

I've had mine for about 2 years and they are great... Especially when towing.
OBTW, I cracked the lens on one and the generic NAPA round fisheye mirror is what they use... Cheap, easy to replace, and found at any NAPA.

by towing mirrors do you mean the huge dumbo ear mirrors with the regular glass up top and the bubble mirror on bottom. if you do, then the c-betr mirrors will help out even more. the c-betr mirrors mount on the horizontal supports and are awsome. they help eliminate more blind spots and the amount of bug splatter that gets blasted off the towing mirrors at speed.

Well I have the factory towing mirrors as well and don't feel a need to augment what is already a great mirror combination. I can see far to the rear around my 36.5' Cedar Creek 5th wheel with the factory mirrors.

Thanks for the thread.
Ordered the C-Betr mirrors for my wifes new truck tonight. We were looking from mirrors to help with the blind spots. Something she noticed during the test drive.

I wish Fomoco hadn't even bothered with the goofy little convex on the bottom of the TT mirrors. About the only thing they are good for is to see where your back tires are. I've always added spot mirrors to last 8 trucks I've owned. Someone suggested the C-Betr's to me. Liked what I saw and bought 'em. Will have them again on my '06 when I get it. I even removed the stickon mirrors I've always used. With the flat [don't void your warranty 
,stock mirrors] I can see to the horizon! They don't help you see the rice burner in the Peoples Republic of Ann Arbor tho that like to hang to the right side of the lane by the back axle, after you've passed him, then he/she decides to acclerate to the speed limit. These things are great! They are comparable to what the "big trucks" use and are almost unnoticable unless your in the truck.

had them on my 03 7.3 SD and bought another pair for the new 05 F350 SD 6.0,,
think once you have experienced what they offer it is hard to say the factory mirrors are just as great,,
enjoy,,

My dealer actually keeps the C-betr mirrors in stock and displayed right up front he sells so many....
I have the dumbo mirrors on mine, so the C-betr won't work, but they sure look like they are great - and not that expensive at all !!!
