Default Gathering interest (SCREW tow mirrors)

Hey guys,
Just like a lot of you guys that have an 97-03 SCREW I want a set of direct bold on with ZERO modifications of any kind f250 style tow mirrors. Well here's the deal, I'm currently working with a very close friend of mine that manufactures automotive parts to see what we can come up with. Our goal is simple...

1) good sturdy construction
2) power mirror
3) led turn signal

From what I can tell there seems to be a pretty big interest in mirrors like this for our cab style. I would like to gather a head count of guys that would be interested. Once things get moving along and I get the prototype in front of me I'll get pics posted along with price point.

If there's any specific things that you guys would like to see on the mirrors let me know. Things like blind spot mirror, over all style and so on. If its easier post up some pics of other mirrors that you like so I can get a more accurate idea of what you're looking for.

Oh and one more things I'm looking and hoping to have this out by months end. This way they will be ready and in time for the holidays to put on our Christmas lists to the wives and girlfriends!



Thanks and cheers

I would think their are many interested, but cost would be the biggest factor.

I have a mild interest, but mainly since I need a replacement pass side mirror for my truck already. If the price is right, I could see myself getting a set instead of buying a replacement for the broken pass side (or maybe I would just buy one from somebody who gets your tow mirrors).

I'm in the same boat. My passenger mirror is cracked (hairline) and the gears or something is stripped inside both of them. Have to adjust by hand.

Cost is a big factor. I'm not going to drop $500 on mirrors.

A blind spot mirror is key, too. Something that also has a convex so I can see the ground around the rear tires when backing up. Right now I just have little round stick-ons.

I don't really care if it has a turn signal. That would be one more thing to run a new wire for.

Definitely would like a set of tow mirrors, but as said above price point would be a factor. I like the led turn signal as my lariat already has them and the convex spot would be nice. The new style f150 tow mirrors look good, just need a base that fits and is a direct bolt on plug and play.

I've been looking for a set, but all I've found were cheaply made, and don't even look like f250 mirrors. I've been hoping to find legit f250 towing mirrors for my 98 f150. Like they said price is key, don't need the power or turn signals.

I would like to know the same. Unlike how they look better than the eBay SD looking ones.
