Default My new upgrade - towing mirrors!!

So I made the jump to towing mirrors and haven't looked back! Now to tackle those pesky puddle lamps . My old mirrors had a chrome cap and was debating going that route again or PTM. Any suggestions?

So I guess you guys are sick and tired of towing mirror threads, lol. Or maybe she's just perfect as she is. I'll think it's chrome again since it's easier to find. Thanks again for all the input, not!

I have the chrome caps on my standard mirrors, and was thinking about putting the tow mirrors on and would definitely put the chrome back on. It would go well with the bumpers.

Thanks, I was thinking the same way. Just didn't know if it would make them stand out that much more. And if you need any persuasion to justify the mirrors, trust me you'll never regret it!

PTM. I saw them on another truck today with the chrome caps. Made the mirrors look much bigger than they are. I have the tow mirrors too. When I saw the other guys I thought, Whoa do mine look like THAT!? Gave me a complex. Then I realized it was the chrome caps that me them SO noticeable.

Congrats on the install. I couldn't live with out them!

Definetly go ptm our just leave them the way they are. That way when you smack those huge mirrors into a drive thru you wont have to keep repainting replacments. Jk I plan to get a set as soon as I get over the price.

ROFL! I've tagged a couple things, other trucks mirrors, ATM poles, an Army Humvee in a cargo caravan. We hit mirrors, his fault for trying to share my lane. Didn't even flinch, kept driving away. The tow mirrors are very tough. When something smacks them they just fold in or flex away and snap back into position. Good design for sure!

I don't know that I'd PTM because the truck and mirrors are both already black...but I love that tiger paw on the back window!
