Default Need opinions on these mirrors

My truck got hit while parked and they took out the whole passenger side, i mean everything from the bed to the front bumper was smashed, ive already finished most of the body work and i bought a set of tow mirrors. They look terrible on my truck and i want to get a new set on before i leave for basic. I found these on ebay, ive never seen them before and wanted some opinions on them. Im painting the truck bright silver met and im having a 2-4 drop installed after i leave. Any help would be awesome.

If there not OEM or Street Scene mirrors, stay away from them. I bought the cheapy mirrors off ebay and returned them immediately, the mirror glass is distorted, the wires don't hook up correctly, neither does the base plate to the mirror itself, their junk. Spend the money and go with Street Scene Cal Vu mirrors, you won't be disappointed.

Id be willing to let the tow mirrors go for around $80. Ive also read about people putting suburban mirrors on our trucks how does it look?

yeah, those are chevy/ suburban truck mirrors......never figured the wiring out, its like 2 completely different languages.....the dodge wiring is very strange, BUT i havent even needed to move them since ive had em.........i had to enlarge 2 (i think) of the holes in my door to make them fit, the curve fits great but the back end isnt quite right



those ebay mirrors look pretty cool, but i had ordered a different style of those cheepies and the holes didnt line up right




see the gap at the top











would you be interested in trading your tow mirrors for a great set of the power chrome?
