C-Betr Mirrors
Has anyone used the C-Betr Towing Mirrors on their Super Duty? If so, how do you like them compared to a regular stick-on blind spot mirror? If anyone has pics of them mounted on their truck, that would be great! Thank you!

Quite a few of us have, and I love them. The stick-on mirrors take up way too much space out of the big mirror, which doesn't work for me as I use the side mirrors for my rear-view (topper doesn't allow you to see through).
The only problem with them is that, at full retraction, the mirrors will not fold in completely. So, before folding them back, you have to pull the main mirror, then the C'Betr out a bit. No big deal.
I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

Awesome mirrors. A no brainer to get them. I use them 90% of the time and uses the stockers for backing up into spaces. I angled the stock convex mirror down so I can see the tires.
I have pics in my gallery of the mirrors if you want to take a look.

That aught to tell you just how much I appreciate them!!! I have some pics in my link below that are pretty good about showing you what you will see with them, that you could not see with just the standard mirrors.
Way, way better then stick ons.

I love mine too!! They are great for everyday driving - not just towing a trailer! I got mine on E-Bay - and have ordered about 8 other sets for other people who have seen my mirrors and want them for their trucks!!
Get you some!!!

I ordered mine direct from QWorks. http://www.qwks.com/C-Betr-Mirrors-c-4.html
I'm with boxcar... I use the stock convex mirrors as "look-down" mirrors to see the curbs, rear wheels, and that little two-foot tall stump that you'll miss and end up destroying a rear quarter panel.

Thank you for all the responses! I will order a set when my truck arrives this summer. I noticed while test driving that the factory lower convex mirrors are not that great for the blind spots.

I also love my C-betrs. I'd say that if I could only add ONE thing to a bone stock truck, it'd be a pair of C-betrs, since they're the most useful mod I can think of.
You can't get a stick-on that's big enough to be useful without taking up a bunch of space on the main mirror. For me they serve as my main mirror, and the way they're aimed, if I don't see a vehicle in the C-Betr or in my peripheral vision, then there's just not one there. I've got the mains pointed out further to the side, more for general looking and seeing around cars behind me, and the lower ones pointed at the tires for parking and such.

My driver side mirror as you can see has a small stick-on that was on the truck when I bought it, but the images in it are too small and the mirror's useless. Afraid I'll mess the mirror up if I try to remove it.
Also, I keep my mirrors fully extended all the time for dually-drivin' purposes, so I can fold my mirrors in w/out adjusting anything and the C-Betrs don't hit the door/window at all.
Definitely buy them directly from Qwrks.

I bought a set for my '05 Ex, but wound up returning them. Excellent product though, and even better customer service.
I don't like to leave my mirrors extended unless towing, and with the C-Betrs on...it would not allow the mirrors to fold all the way in...which was a problem getting in the garage for service, waxings, etc.
If I could get them to fit on my mirrors....I'd buy 'em in second.

Pretty funny, I did the same thing as boxcar did. With the stock spots angled down at the rear tires, I can back into a space and stop inches from the bumper of the car behind me.
These mirrors are the best!!
