Brand new passenger's side convex installed! When I bought the mirrors the small convex was cracked. Didn't really stunt my visibility, but I wanted it fixed. $50 and 10 seconds later and the convex is installed in place! Thought I'd have to pop open the whole mirror to replace it, but I just grabbed the corner and pulled it right off. All in these tow mirrors were $250.

Thanks man. I'm very happy with them. Only complaint is that the upper section mirrors are quite "zoomed in" for trailering. They really make the car behind look far closer than they actually are. I actually tend to use the lower convex more than the upper part. All blind spots are gone with these. You can even see the parking spot line so you can straighten out.

Gotta keep the mods flowing! Ordered a set (3 stickers are provided) of these matte black FX4 decals tonight. They were $20 shipped so when I get them if I don't like them I can just get rid of them and throw the 3rd one on my garage wall. I think it will look good, but it's a trial run.

Do you notice any additional wind noise with the tow mirrors?
