Default Picking mine up today

I really like the idea and they look great. I pickup my set today. I am planing on using the rubberized spray paint to coat mine so they have a textured look. I will post some pics soon

I read this posting a couple of hours ago, and now I have mine laying on the kitchen table. It was tripley good. 1. good that I read this posting. 2. good that there is a O'Rieley's here in Racine Wisconsin, and 3. That they had 2 left. Oh, I almost forgot there's a number 4. 4. good that they were on sale for $6.99 each. Everyone have a great weekend.

Great Idea! You deserve more

I'm not too concerned about getting harassed by the popo but backing my boat and trailer can be a major pain in the ass without any mirrors!

Default $11.39 for a mirror!

OK, this is not the best mirror when your doors are off but very acceptable. Took about 3 min. to install. It vibrates but not that bad as it's connected to the window frame as opposed to the door hinge. Here it is. Bought it from Knecht's auto supply.






I put this between the frame and bolt so I wouldn't scratch the paint. Worked well and helps with the vibration.



EASY, Basic, CHEAP Works for me and we went on a drive today(freeway).. No problems
