Default New Mirrors

Friday for the second time the same lady in my neighborhood took my mirror off my truck. First time was on my old chevy. This time even with my entire passenger side tires in my yard still managed to get hit. She's paying me $150 for a new mirror since that's what Ford charges on their service website.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a set of tow mirrors. I look the functionality of them although not so crazy on how it will look with the current state of my truck (stock ride and tire size). leveling kit and new tires once the current tires are worn down but probably 30,000 miles to go on those.

My question is has anyone went cheap on tow mirrors with satisfactory results? Like from amazon.

Amazon Amazon

And yes, from now on I'm folding my drivers mirror in when I park on the street.

They work awesome, one of my best purchases. Ended up getting them for $125.00, with Make Offer button and free shipping.

The worst part is disconnecting the little short pigtail in the set I had.
Do a search here, there's a thread on it, along with removing your interior door panel. But if you've replaced your mirror before, you know what to do.
