Which re-pop sport mirrors?

I want to take the big mirrors off my truck and put the sport mirrors back on. I'd love to find a set of NOS but they seems to be pretty hard to find. I have seen several posts about LMCs mirrors not being up to snuff.

Who has the best quality reproduction sport mirrors? I have been shopping with ECE. Anyone have a review of their sport mirrors?

EDIT: My truck still has the original holes for the sport mirrors. The mirrors were removed and a cover plate was installed at some point. I'm betting since the original gasket is still there, the plate on the inside of the door is too.

Re: Which re-pop sport mirrors?

Id think there all by the same company

ECE probably doesnt stock the mirrors, ive found there mostly suspension stuff. i orerd gas tank and arm rests they had to order both.

I orderd from some kansas company and shipping was like 8 weeks cause they didnt stock em either.

heard good things from tim christian in East Tn. He'll get my next order. I always forget about him lol.

theres a vendor section in the board somehwer

All I could find on him was this. Not sure it is the right guy and no mirrors.

Re: Which re-pop sport mirrors?

The ones tri pro sells are nice . I have them on my truck. Problem with most sport mirrors is that when you break a glass you buy a new mirror. The glass is not to be had for under the cost of the mirror.

I agree, Where did you get the mirrors you have?

Thanks. Is this the same Tri Pro? www.tri-proautomotive.com

Anyone else? I'd really like to hear from those who have ordered and installed a set.

No problems with vibration? I think all the problems I have been reading about may be with the larger mirrors and not the sport mirrors.

Thanks Again,

Re: Which re-pop sport mirrors?

I got mine from Tri-Pro. Great service, just give him a call.
You will also nee the metal plate that goes inside the door.
Note: The factory locations of the right and left mirrors are NOT the same.

For a list of vendors, go to the link below and scroll down to vendors.

Re: Which re-pop sport mirrors?

The mirrors like most parts are made by the same companies so their is not a wide variety of quality. We sell the same ones eveyone sells for $28.00 each.
I would go NOS if you find them or rechrome. Any glass shop can make the glass

Re: Which re-pop sport mirrors?

Thanks Mike. It is still going to be a couple of months before she's road ready. I'll just keep my eyes open for some NOS or good driver quality originals.
