Question Chrome sideview mirrors

Has anyone put on aftermarket chrome covers for mirrors? I like the half covers instead of the full ones. What brand is best? Do they look cheap?

BigRob,

I have the chrome skull caps which is the half mirror that you are talking about...I got them thru Putco...cant remember what website though and they were somewhat hard to find...think they were $45 for the set.....They are a little bulky, but I dont think they look bad at all and accent a bull bar and running boards well to bring the chrome up the side of the truck...

Check my gallery for pictures or go to www.oznium.com/gallery and look under the username 02BlueStang.

Thanks, I've seen that Putco brand at the local autoparts store but, they always seem to stock chevy and dodge only! What's up wit dat!

Yeah, those skull caps are what I'm looking for.
