Thanks Hof 95 and Redfireshaker06. The paint was a last minute idea when I got to the shop.

 

No problem, I love these 10x's better than the agent 47

 

These look so much better than the stock ones, just did mine today, thanks KC!!
Definately need a dremel, I did the drivers side first and after enlarging the hols and doing some filing I went to the dremel to carve out the holes in the directions needed to line the studs up correctly and the electrical plug. The passengers went smoother as I just dremel'd them out.

I did the plain plastic covers for now.








Beats the old truck mirrors-

 

Like the new mirrors. Did you know if you get 2011 mirrors, it comes with the blind spot mirror in the upper left corner?

Like this...

 

Womprat, I love the GT500 hood! Looks good!

 

I did know about the blind spot section on those when I bought mine, I just don't care for it. I test drove a 11' to check out the 5 liter (I FELL IN LOVE FYI) and maybe it's me but I feel those blind spot mirrors are distracting. A properly aligned/positioned mirror I'll take any day.

 

I drive truck for a living so using the 2011 blind spot mirrors are natural for me and I like them.

 

Are the 11-12 cars standard with the matching color caps? I want to do the mirror mod but want factory white caps. Can you get them painted from Ford?

 

The scull caps come in primer or textured black.

 

Thank you! Yes I knew and preferred the 2010. May go painted down the road, who knows. Need the front bumper now!
I failed to mention I bought these from Kevin C. Hats off to you sir great price great shipping great communication!

 

For you guys that have done the 2010+ side mirror upgrade, does the front corner of the mirror base kind of stick out a little bit? This is the piece that actually attaches to the door. I had it done last year and I am not sure if this is a common issue with this retro-fit or not.

 

Not on mine. Pretty flat and flush.

 

Thanks. I think my problem is that the shops purchased aftermarket versions of the mirrors and not Ford OEM ones, so they are probably not 100% the same. I may just pickup some used sets off of ebay and see how they fit. I know it's trivial but I like things pretty much perfect.

 

Those mirrors look much better than my 06 stockers, ordered a set this afternoon for $160 shipped. Comes with both black textured and primed covers. I'll paint them and mount them if they come out nice if not at least I have the alternative to use the textured ones.

Thanks for posting this because I probably would never have thought of this.

 

When you get done with this upgrade you should consider doing your sun visors. The 2012 and up have lighted vanities with a nicer covering. The mirrors themselves are smaller, but the light helps keep the lil' lady happy. Homelink in your visor or added to the center overhead light console are nice adds. I ended up going with the Homelink mirror unit, with compass readouts. These are all great upgrades for our 05-9 S197's. These items all fit with little or no modifications. (I know, I've installed all of them).

 

Yep. Great mod.

 

guys, I'll have my 2010 style mirrors w/ brand new painted white caps for sale next week. I went with 2013s. Im looking for $175 shipped. LMK if anybody is interested

 

In regards to the two shades of Redfire, I had the same experience with Torch Red, (D3) also known as Colorado Red in some circles. Had my quarter window panels painted to match. First time was at least a shade off.

 

I can't believe I have had these on for 2 years already!
