Good idea for mirrors?

I got to thinkin and i thought that some heated towing mirrors off a Excursion would look awesome on a dentside. What do you guys think about it?

I think useful is way more important than looks.
If looks is all that counted, they'da knocked me in the head a long time ago.

Late model mirrors are gonna be difficult to mount as the later model trucks do not have wind wings and the early trucks did. Late model mirrors do not mount to the body like the early mirrors did.
Gotta get fancy to use any of these late style mirrors.

The towing mirrors off of the newer Ford's are simply the best when it comes to visibility and towing. As to how they look on a dentside, I can not say yes or no but I would sure like to see pictures of it if you do install them!
