Re: Who has the best quality mirrors

I got mine from Truck and Car Shop. They are ok, cheap price wise, so if they "fail" it wont be to much $$ to replace, just a pain to install. You can try Brothers or Classic Industries, but I think they are all made the same way.

The best ones are usually found in the For Sale section. Get some originals and polish them.

Re: Who has the best quality mirrors

Have not had that problem with mine. Like said a couple of times already, you an get some originals for $$$, or save some and get the repos for cheap.
