Good Towing Mirrors
Came across these towing mirrors, are they any good?
Price seems low, too. Does anybody have them? Please post pics!

You should be able to get Factory OEM tow mirrors for a little more than that.
Found them for $85 more than what you had. OEM Mopar one's that have free shipping.
I've heard that the glass ends up vibrating and falling down after a while with aftermarkets due to cheaper construction. Fit/finish is pretty much the same, but longevity is the issue.

CRam- u asked me on a post I had what mirrors I had. Honestly I have know idea, I burned the box after install and just dont remember. however, I got them from autopartswarehouse for 230. They are power and heated and that was tax and shipping..I did have a coupon code through email for a discount(10%) so far they are great. I had a non towing mirror tat was aftermarket and never had any problems..we will see.

Thanks guys. I'm going to contact the Chrysler dealership from Dirtydog's link to see what they say the difference is between the aftermarket and OEM mirrors. I can't see why I should spend 100 bucks more for the same product (IF they are the same).

Here's their reply:
I dont think they say Dodge on them anywhere but they are O.E.M factory made with guaranteed quality and fit. These are NOT cheaply made aftermarket. You certainly get what you pay for in this case.
