Ken was very helpful, matched price on another part and threw in free shipping on my whole order so I m happy.

Have not made up my mind 100% yet but I'm getting them painted gloss black for my Vista Blue pony.

I figure if I want the pod part painted to match my blue then it can always be done at a later date. Being as how we're just going into Feb and Im corraled in CT, my pony aint leavin the stable for another month and a half anyway. I envy all you guys down south that don't have to worry about givin your ride a salt bath and sand blastin if you drive it in winter...
Thanks!!!

We appreciate the business

No you aint the only one. Some people think they look way better than the agent 47s.
I think they do have a kinda brawny, in-your-face masculine look to em.

Problem is they look really similar in size and style to pickup truck mirrors for one.

For another - whats with the big flat area along the front?

For another - the crinkle plastic finish rather than smooth painted makes em look cheap. And IMO those partial covers available make em look even worse.

For another - most 4-dr family grocery getters got more streamlined lookin painted mirrors.

Finally, the agent 47s add to the "retro" styling cues that the s197s have and its just one more among the zillion ways to customize your stang to individualize it.

No smaller than a Corvette or any other sports car out there...

Mine are definitely small fielded vision though, you're right back into the 60s, lol.
Then again, I don't rely on mirrors anyway.
I always turn my head when I'm about to change lane etc...

It's not difficult but you just want to take your time.

If you want to look at the install instructions let me know and I can shoot them over.
