looking at new ext side mirrors............

ok guys, so im gettin kinda tired of the big old "dumbo" style mirrors on my truck, and im looking at either of these mirrors on the bottom of the page in this LMC Truck online catalog linked below.

What i want to know if which style would look better on my truck, as i plan to do a drop, wheels, 1 pc windows (side/rear), tint, maybe some other subtle body mods (unsure) etc.

If i can get pics of both style of mirror on your trucks or truck you have saved, thatd be awesome.

Again, the mirrors im looking at are the 2 on bottom of page.

Re: looking at new ext side mirrors............

I like the stock ones bottom right. I've been running them for 27 years on this truck.




The peep mirrors are more streetrodish.

Re: looking at new ext side mirrors............

I saw them on a round I don't like them but that's my opinion. I personally like towing mirrors or the "dumbo" style mirrors but that's because I have always driven or had trucks with them

Re: looking at new ext side mirrors............

Don't waste your time or money on the Peeps. They do look cool, but are absolutely useless.

If your going with an 81-87 front end, the factory square sport mirrors look good. If your running 73-80 rounded line front clip the mid 60's Nova/Chevelle mirrors look sweet.
