Default Tow Mirrors

The tow mirrows are great. I can see through the lines of what I am towing, especially the tires on the trailer. Belive, me, I've scraped, dented and torn the tires with my previous car, but these mirrors certainly help.

When you are not towing anything, these tow mirrors act as blind spot mirrors. You can see across 3 lanes on both sides and it's great!!

It's a shame they removed the electric fold feature with this option... They should have kept the auto-fold option on with the tow mirrors...

Yup. Yup. I think I'm going to be wishing for an electric fold feature. I believe I'm going to have to fold the drivers side in every day to get mine in the garage. However, I'm going to like them for the visibility, for sure. I wonder how much they affect gas mileage? They're huge!

The Platinum package comes with 20" FORGED aluminum wheels. I don't see why they wouldn't fit on any other models.

I'll try to take a picture at night and post it...

I had a shop install it dirt cheap.

It's almost too bright at night. The angle is just right so that when you're behind a sedan, it points to below the rear windshield so that it doesn't blind them through the rear view mirror, but it reflects off of the side mirrors and I see a lot of people blocking the mirror at night.

I am so afraid of getting behind a police cruiser with these HIDs. :p
