Those mirrors look like something out of a JC Whitney catalog. I'll stick with the Midwest mirror covers...and for $400 they should come complete ready to bolt on. Fit is horrible as well.

they do just bolt on and the fit is perfect, slightly tighter and better than OEM, the pics I posted show a gap thats actually not there, I might take more pics and do a side by side comparison if I remember to later

What I meant was they should be a complete mirror. Glass, foam, wiring...whatever is necessary to mount. For that price you shouldn't have to use any of your factory mirror. If you like them that's all that matters. Not my cup of tea though.

A lot of the time cameras will distort the image when using the maximum side of the focus, instead of using that much focus either take a Hi Res shot and crop it down or place the actual lens closer to the mirror. I like them but I'm a little worried about the bow that the mount seems to have.

I'm still getting a kick out of the people who think these mirrors are rice...Like the genius who posted the picture of the riced out car several posts above me.

I said this once and no one answered, so I'll ask it again...How are these mirrors anything remotely ricey? Note: Ricey is not to be confused with Pricey, which they are a tad expensive for the parts provided.

I don't think they are RICE, but I DO think they are OVERPRICED and ILL FITTING, and to me don't appear to offer value for the money.

Of course, the same could be said for a lot of the cosmetic crap we tack on to our cars (like my GT/CS scoops! ) so I guess:

To each his own!

I kinda like the A47 mirrors-but it's one of those 'eventually' mods. I wonder how they would look with the outter housings in brushed aluminum.

I love those mirrors. I do agree as most have on here that $400 is outlandish. $250 and I'd be putting these on the list for sure. $400 for mirrors without a motor or trim no matter how nice they look is weak sauce.

And rice no. Not by a long shot.

i've lost track of whoever actually put these on, and props to them if they are still reading through all this amazing bs. the mirrors are not rice and are in my opinion great looking. i've been reading this forum since the begining and am very embarassed by what some of you have said to this guy who wanted nothing more than to show us something he is excited about on his car.
