yep i got power mirrors, led turns, memroy mirror and puddle lamps, i just dont have the power fold option nor the chrome caps, and i didnt wire the memory motors. i used my stock f150 mirror motors cause i dont have nor wanted to attempt to wire the memory function.

Mine were all PTM and i ran silver along the "bar" looking area that goes down the middle of the mirror.

you guys are in the stone age with those things. let me know when you catch up to me:

mine are hand-powered, far more advanced should a motor burn out.

LED turns? whats more attractive than a hairy mans arm out the window pointing left?

and who needs puddle lamps when you have a Mag light? wayyy more efficient! also a great billy stick!

memory on mine is great. when the "sensors" detect the mirrors out of place, the memory center automatically knows to place the blame on mom for messin' with 'em

power fold is fully automatic on mine. just (manually) roll down the window, reach out, and yank!

and chrome caps? well....cant complain there, im still lookin to gettin me a fancy pair of those shiney bussoms!

Don't know if it did, but I'm sure every bit counts. I did it more for the cleaner look. Besides, as I said before, I never use it. Granted, now that I think about it, I'm sure I could add some wings up there. Sure could use the down force, as well as the HP boost.

HP boost only works if you have a sticker showing it off. otherwise the product cannot make a direct connection to the engine

I gotta agree, i got me a nice mag always stored between the drivers seat and the center seat.... the puddle lamps are just more economical when your going to get into your truck though.
You ever tried luggin that four Dcell lamp in your pants around with you so that you can light up the dark parking area after midnight when you get out the "show"
There were a lot of stares from folks at the movie theater the night i did that, and i was almost sure some lady in the back of the line at the popcorn stand asked if she could get in front of me

don't forget to install an un painted body kit for more hp boost

anyways ELVATO did you clean your step bar before spraying with Krlon Fusion? and did you use Satin Black?

amd does anyone know where I can get Navigator Door Handles? just the handles (all 4) I don't need the buckets

Yea, I cleaned everything I painted with alcohol. I did two coats on the step bar, BTW.

I'm pretty sure it was the Satin Black. It's the one that said something on the cap in white letters.

Naw, just went ahead and painted. Just tape/newspaper off anything you don't want painted.

Very jealous Mine are the most basic mirrors EVER. I hate them! Be advised, if you take off the roof rack for decreased wind resistance, I'm pretty sure those mirrors take up the slack the rack took off.
