Yea i completely agree. Best investment upgrade you can do for the money. Even if you aren't planning on towing much. Just all around makes seeing everything easier.

I was on the fence about doing this for my truck since it's a regular cab and I don't tow that much. Thanks to Bob for posting those pics. Or maybe, dadgumit why'd you have to post those pics!? I'll have to add them to the list now.

I love the wiper cowl, I think you are the only other person in the world that has even asked me about it. Haha, i've had it for a few years. I love the looks. Everyone that drives my truck says they hate it. Its never bothered me one bit.Its pretty tough too, Its hit birds and everything.

Definitely get the tow mirrors. I had the plain power mirrors and they are an amazing change for the better. The only hard part was getting used to the angle of the passenger side mirror. I just use the convex mirror and not worry about it.

The view is much better, the convex mirrors are the best thing about them in day to day driving. No blind spots!
