Default Hate the angled side mirrors

I must say, I do not like the angled mirrors on my '16 Lariet 501a screw. Thought id give it a few months to see if i got used to it, but nope. Hate them. Maybe if I had the larger towing mirrors, I'd be ok with it.

I miss the normal rectangular mirrors I had on my '12. Anyone know if I can swap a set from a prior gen and put on the '16?

I don't like the looks of them. They work great, highly functional, just dislike the angular edge. The function is good, just can't get into the design. I think is time to start exploring the tow mirrors. Still has the angle, but larger size puts in into scale better.

I also hate the look of the new mirrors , the ones on the 09-14 , actually 04-14 look tough , these look like they belong on a car , if someone comes out with an aftermarket mirror that looks like the 14 and down style I will be first in line

That'll be two of us. In a heartbeat.

I would like them more if they kept the spot mirror when BLIS is added as an option.
