i hope so, the current one is a stock looking black one with black crap all over the mirror part under the glass, but above the reflective film(so uncleanable)

88Jimmy4x4 · 11-15-2004, 09:03 AM

I bought one and hated it, ended up selling it on ebay. The mirror is weird because its wasnt like a real mirrors reflection, not really a mirror if you will, plus as you can see in the pictures it doesnt have the day/night flip lever on the bottom....that drove me nuts.

Ric83 · 11-15-2004, 09:26 AM

Kool. That looks pretty sweet. I hoped to get one for mine. Whenver it finally runs again

As far as the day/night flip lever, personally, I never even use mine. I think it is going to look real nice in your truck.

The Dude · 11-15-2004, 03:19 PM

i love mine, got it from stylin concepts, it has flames etched into the back side. with my truck being up so high, i dont need to worry about peoples lights in my eyes.

hotrodhomi · 11-15-2004, 03:22 PM

I thought you were going to say you were getting rid of those dumbo side mirrors. And I was going to be sad. I'm glad to see thats not the case.

cliffsta · 11-15-2004, 05:29 PM

I replaced my rusted crusted original 10" mirror with a universal Wally World 8", and that was back in April, and I still don't know if its better. Granted, the old one was so nasty it was hard to see out of, but the shrinkage of 2 inches makes a noticeable difference for me. Plus the replacement isn't chrome like the original, its goofy black

P.S. I thought he ment the dumbo mirrors, too. I'm also glad to see i was wrong. I love my little ones, nice and slick.

ocbaud · 11-15-2004, 08:04 PM

the dumbo mirrors are leaving as soon as my truck is in the body shop for the dent that needs fixed. the mirrors are asstastic and my truck looks 100x better with them gone(at least it does in photoshop)

Glad to hear your shaving the dumbo mirrors.

ocbaud · 11-15-2004, 08:25 PM

which looks better? besides the grill:

cliffsta · 11-15-2004, 09:41 PM

without them for sure. The little ones, i forget the official GM name for em, look sooo much better.

ElGracho · 11-15-2004, 10:29 PM

The little ones are just the standard mirrors. The big 'dumbo ear' ones were called 'below-eyeline' My Gentleman Jim and Indy Hauler have the little ones. They look better but are near worthless as mirrors...

SanitysBane · 11-15-2004, 10:57 PM

once again the great question, style OR function?

ocbaud · 11-16-2004, 12:21 AM

yeah, i dont need the day/night lever, my tint takes care of the bright lights behind me

BaggedC10 · 11-16-2004, 12:32 AM

Your truck looks so much better w/o those mirrors! It looks great now but the difference is incredible.....

yes i know, the truck will look so much better with them off of it.

Destructo · 11-16-2004, 12:39 AM

I think I got a set of those little mirrors that I took off my GMC for Dumbo mirrors, I used the truck to tow and the little mirrors were worthless to me.

But, for a street truck I like the way it looks without the big mirrors.

hotrodhomi · 11-16-2004, 10:56 AM

I have the little mirrors and they suck. Dont forget you have to have a drivers side mirror and one other..either rear view or pass. side.

Jonboy · 11-16-2004, 11:10 AM

What about finding a set of factory power mirrors? You don't need teh power part, but the mirrors would probably look ok.

maybe its just az, but a police officer told me i only need one mirror, so i kept it clean on the outside of the the truck. imo looks best that way.

82chevyc-10 · 11-16-2004, 07:51 PM

Only need one in Texas, and you can guess which one I have...

Shave the sideview, mine looks damn clean with everything shaved and so will your's. Where did you get the full phantom grille?

ocbaud · 11-16-2004, 08:01 PM

ebay

**smokinn** · 11-16-2004, 08:27 PM

Mirrors? We dont need no stinking mirrors.

cliffsta · 11-17-2004, 12:03 AM

lol. Yeah functionality wise the Dubmo Deluxes are better, but i see just fine outta the itty bitty ones. That's one of the big things thats cool about a pickup; blindspots are almost nonexistant.

loblazer · 11-17-2004, 02:03 PM

If you want nice mirrors of a good size check out 1995-97 (sorry) F150 in chrome. They have a nice size head, screw on from the outside and the black frame can be painted body colour. That is what I am looking to put on my Blazer. I have small custom ones and I now think bigger is better for safety.
