SSplaytoy Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Paint it to match and lift the truck. If you make it look like a HD and tow a lot, making those dumbo ears useful, then go for it. Otherwise, leave the stockers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigreds10 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 here are a couple pics of my truck, 06 cc vmax 4x4 looks good i think it will look better on a lifted truck then a stock truck imo. cause the one ive seen has a 6" lift with 35s and it looks good. but idk yet i wanna make it faster first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I put those mirrors on my GMC with the turn signals and heated, in all honesty they crate some big blind spots and would only recomed them for towing, and if you tow often. I much prefer the regular mirros for when just driving around. the towing mirrors are great for when you have a large enclosed trailer though, then they become real useful.

How often do you tow... Those mirrors are great for towing but not for around town driving. If I only towed a few times a year I would just do the towing mirror extensions that clamp on to the stock mirrors. With my GMC I tow often so it was worth the change. Like I said even with the smaller convex mirrors, visibilty is reduced from the normal mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdimedude Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 When I towed my old 28ft trailer I used to use tow mirrors that slid over my existing mirrors. Once I got the mirrors set right they looked and worked pretty good. It takes about 3 to 5 minutes to slip them on and make sure they are set right. You can't see them very well in these pics, but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZQ8SON Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 My 06 crew came from the factory with them, I love um. Gets mistaken for a diesel a lot tho, I drive alot and until this post I have never noticed. Since then I have seen several 1500's with them and 1 GMC. Must be more common than I thought.

bigreds10 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 yah ive seen the slip ons before but didnt know how good the worked. ive seen a lot of the camper mirrors on 1500s and they look pretty good. from the front looks like diesel. but once it pasts and you see the baby bed you know its not.
