hey yall, im new to the forum... but i was wondering if you could make your own tow mirrors. i have all the time in the world, but not the money. so i was wondering if it would be possible to make some tow mirrors out of maybe plywood and then fiberglass them? do yall think it would be too heavy? i just dont want to spend $300 on them... by the way, i have a 2002 ram 1500 with manuel windows, locks, and mirrors.

 

Just gotta make sure they don't shake @ 80. Yep, plywood and fiberglass would probably be too heavy.

 

Seems like to much of a hassle.

yea i would have to say dont do it. look for them on cl or ebay. i found mine on the classifieds on here. You could also go aftermarket. Look up Koolvue.

 

its not that i need them for towing, i just like the looks of them.

 

You can find manual ones that are OE replacements for less than $200 on ebay. I think trying to make homemade ones that look good would be quite a task.

 

I agree, save up and by some off eBay, better off that way then spending money in the supplies and messing up

 

Yea I think it would just be easy to buy them there only like $200 like gc said to much hassle to make them unless ur really bored go for it them

 

There was a guy on DT with a heated and powered after market (read: Kool Vue) for sale.
