Cool. Somehow, I found time to put mine on the same night that I received them.





Hey, does anyone else that has these mirrors notice that the right side main mirror has a somewhat "weird" reflection? It seems like the convex-ness is not perfect. Very hard to describe, but definately noticeable in my mirror. Kinda like the mirror incorrectly distorts the view. (Yeah, I know it's a convex mirror, but this is different)... I don't know if it's just my mirror, or if they're all like that. I keep wanting to stop by the local Ford dealer to look at another set on a new truck.

Labman it seems that you and I have really started something, I see $$ in your future, start selling the wiring diagrams to those who request it.

BTW I just got back today from towing the brick on spring break. Man you can see everything behind my 33ft. trailer, the smaller mirror makes backing an ease. Lane changes, no problems. I had several comments at the campground from others who noticed the new mirrors.

well it is too late on the $$ part. i emailed the pdf's to domenic at tasca and he is suppose to put together a how to with bigger pics than mine to help everyone out. i talked to him today when i ordered my last pieces of my camera and he said he cant keep the mirrors on the shelf. he has sold at least 20 sets since the price decrease!!!!

Talking

well after asking for pictures of everyones towing mirrors I have made up my mind! (BTW thanks again to those who sent me pics) At first I was not so sure of them as they looked kind of big and in the pics I could not really tell if I would like them or not. Well after stopping by the Ford dealer today and seeing 5 trucks with them I think they look really good! Seeing the towing mirrors next to the standard ones the towing mirrors you really cool. So tomorrow I will be ordering two sets from Tasca for both my truck along with my dads.


Thanks again everyone for the help and information!

Josh

Thats odd, I am the only game in town when it comes to the mirrors, none of my local Ford dealers even have them on there trucks in inventory.

Good job for helping out Tasca, let us know how the rear view comes out.

Same thing here, I looked at over 12 dealerships inventory's online before I found one that had them on their trucks in stock. Had to Drive 38 miles one way but it was worth it to see them in person. I have also not seen one truck around here that have the towing mirrors either.
