Aftermarket Mirrors
I have some aftermarket mirrors that were on my pickup when I bought it. I don't have a clue as to who makes them but thought some of you guys might know. Several of you guys have asked about them so here are a couple of close up pics. Hope they turn out OK.

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors
Those look great, but I have two questions:
How are they mounted? Can you still use the wing window? |

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors
The wing window opens about 3/4 full. These seem to fit in the corners as if they were custom made and fiberglassed in. I haven't found screws yet. Bad thing is they still have the primer on the inside behind the wing window. Though dark primer, it's still visible from the inside.

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors
They Are 88-02 Chevy Sport Mirrors. I'm Curious How They Mounted Them Though. Maybe A Picture From The Inside? Thanks Rick!

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors
How did you attach them to the door.

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors
Two screws accessible from the wing open position. Remove them and two screws mount the bracket inside the window frame. Easier than I thought. The screws were painted over with dark primer and really aren't easy to see.

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors
They look good. What are they like to see out of? Say compared to original sport mirrors.

Re: Aftermarket Mirrors
Driver side is pretty good. Passenger side is not so good. Kinda has a blind spot. Rear view and a big back window saved my bacon a couple of times.
