Looks great. From having embarked on a few projects like these in the past I can surely appreciate the effort that went into this write up!
However, wayyyyy to expensive. I absolutely cannot fathom spending well north of a grand for bigger mirrors. Maybe if the regular powerfold's sold for a similar price I would consider it. (Hell I might just drive around mirror-less in that case though! $$$)

This is a great thread! 
If it all works out I should be picking up a set of 2013 power fold/extend tow mirror takeoffs this Saturday.
I am excited for the power fold feature. That's the main reason I'm buying them. I don't care about the power extend feature and can just do that manually if need be. I will be looking to hook up the side markers though, and thanks to MrCdnVegas's writeup I should be able to do it. But I suck at wiring so we'll see.

Caps seem fairly easy to remove. 1A's super duty PTM caps fit these mirrors which is nice because they're only like $55/pair. Quality seems very high too. I'll just slap the mirrors on with black caps to see how I like it, if I think I'd prefer sterling grey I'll take the spares for paint and con my paint guy into installing them lol

I do have gloss black window visors, and a gloss black hood protector, so it's not like the gloss black mirror caps won't match anything.
If anyone here has removed the mirror caps a brief writeup would be appreciated.

Good to know (regarding the 1A mirror caps)! Are these the exact ones you're talking about? I have a guy in Calgary who can paint a set for $60, so I may order up these caps and send them to him directly.
