Looks good. The only thing I don't like about those mirrors is that they are not parallel to the ground and they lean upwards. Here is a photoshop I did of some 04-08 mirrors on my truck.

I never noticed it till you pointed it out...now it kinda bugs me haha i was tryin to figure out why i looked SO much different from the seat than my f350 with tow mirrors...i think its cause of the upward slant of the mirror. It would be better if it were parallel with the ground....OH WELL haha

I've had mine for 8 months now.
After the first snowstorm, I wish I could have gotten heated glass.....

Other than that they have been great.

I wired mine to the turn signals. It wasn't that hard.
You can tap the turnsignal circuits under the dash at the bottom of the steering column.

Im considering buying these for my 99 SCab Lariat, how hard are they to put on? Any drilling required. If i get ones with turn signals do they wire right up?

They bolt right up an plug into factory harness but signals you have to wire up...and they look better then those small factory mirrors and you can see so much better even if you don't tow...if you are considering it I would just do it...the thing that takes the longest on install is taking te door panel off
