Default Mirror recommendations?

Smashed my passenger side mirror going down a narrow street and now i'm thinking id like to upgrade both sides with something slightly larger and more useful. I'd appreciate any recommendations on sideview mirrors, i know theres a lot of aftermarket options, but id love to hear which you think are best and why.

Thanks,
JG

I've had a great experience with Boost Auto. They're very affordable compared to OEM. Very customizable as well, you can choose different colored caps, lighting, puddle lights, etc. If you're looking for tow mirror upgrades I think Boost Auto is a great candidate.

Looking at Boost, it appears you can get a "running light" option where the turn signal remains illuminated and only flashes with the turn indicator. I'm not sure that's even an option on the OEM mirrors. I'm a fan of more lights for visibilty and safety. That might be a worthwhile purchase.

Boost tow mirrors. All the features of my factory mirrors, except I gave up the power folding option. I'm still on the fence as to whether I should have spent the extra $$ for power folding.

But the mirrors are flawless. Visibility is incredible. And about 60% of what Ford mirrors with similar features would have cost.

I wish I would have gotten the upgradable option of running lights, I can still buy a harness from them that will turn the ambers into running lights though

Okay, last question for the Boost owners... How is the mirror shake on them when travelling? With the tow mirrors you get on Amazon, they shake a lot making it more difficult to see. How is the shake with the boost?
