i'd like to see if they really did cut the stock ones down or just pulled off some photoshop crap. the guts of those mirrors are a nightmare

They are not that hard to cut down since they are cut at the line on the back and then the mirror is resized.
New Big brake kits will be available Nov,1 2006 for 4x4 etc...

So I was dreaming when I saw this in person on an 04 and talked with the company about the parts on the truck? Thanks Cole, without your knowledge of what I see and know I would be lost

If I did not know how the mirrors were made, I would be like you, giving an opinion.
Yes I talk with people who do things who in turn explain how it was done and more times than not provide me with the exact instructions, parts to complete the task and a finished product.
Am I an Expert, maybe maybe not... But I do well enough in what I do to take care of my family, and Countrywide is the only debt we have.
Oh,
What is really funny is that you seem to have problems and ask how to solve them and if the answer is not what you want to hear, you show how much of a $%^& you really are. Why?
I had every intention of explaining how you dont have to take another point on your D/L after your recent ticket. But then as always you tried to cut down the guy who just installed the bassani exhaust with your I'm sorry you purchased it comment. Why?
Good luck
Hit em' with your purse!
But In all seriousness, The big dumbo mirrors are great because of the FOV you get with them, but, they're huge! I really like the cut down mirrors. They look good in the pic.

Remember you wrote this Drew :
"I worked with a company who used my truck for the prototype design and they are going to be marketing the skirts for our trucks with the flares in late September."
Now you say new brakes are coming ! Are dreaming this things at night and posting here during the day ?

rafa,
ya gotta understand how much fast things happen on the west coast. you're in PA, I'm in CT, the big companies aren't going to market and test stuff out here, when they can do it there. it takes time.
when i build parts, is it smart for me to market them in New england, where guys use their trucks more for utility than show, or over on the other side where theres more show trucks and publicity. not to mention nice weather all year long.
patience...

Why dont you try reading about whats going on in the aftermarket industry and then you would know what products are available and what will be making its introduction in the next two months.

They update their website ?
Is that locally only ?
Of couse not.
no, but like drew said, a company isn't going to release something they're going to use to their advantage. they're going to hold off until SEMA because its something they have that others don't, which gives them the edge. if they release it before SEMA, another company is most likely going to use it, making it old hat.

1. Where is the information on whipples site about the upgrade that is available? Or where you just special?
2. Powerworks has a new hand held tuner available... Not on their site...YET
3. Groundforce has had rear airshocks available for months. Stillen has them on their site, where is it on Groundforce(the maker) site? It's was not there last week...
Is everything you have on your truck listed on a website? No........
If so why do you have so much trouble finding parts you need?
You want to base you theory on websites, cool.
Did you get the exact rwhp that whipple said you would get on their website out the box?
Did you get what Dynotech said you would get when you installed it?
Does ridetech list your truck in their applications?
All I have done was give you information to help you in your project. But you would rather attempt to insult me?
I bow to you because you sure have some big nuts to talk $%^& to anyone considering what you have spent and achieved in terms of power so far.
Whipple with an 11psi upgrade, Estimated $10-$12k parts and install and your big claim to fame dyno number was 399rwhp?
