I thought about trying my daughters Alabama address, but when I went to put the zip in, I looked at the side and found a pleasant surprise. The seller listed UPS Ground for $200, but on the second type, they evidently made a mistake. They showed economy shipping for $10. Yes $10. I'm sure it should of been $100, but if it is listed that way, they usually will honor their screw ups.

I just checked and they were shipped today, via UPS, but they will be here by Thursday. LOL. I wouldn't of gotten them until next Wednesday if I had them shipped via UPS Ground. Sometimes it really pays to read all the information in the ads. STROKE!!! Lil Red gets new glasses (mirrors).
Now that was a stroke of luck. I know they will look really good on Red.

AK, can you tell me what brand / model mirrors that you purchased? I'm looking for a set of tow mirrors for my 2002.

EWC......luckily I was able to get the same type ones from K2 that we put on a buddy's Dog (Dodge) last month. They don't rattle or vibrate like some of the cheap ones do.

Since I already have the turn signals in the mirror, to me going the way I did, keeps the turn signals and was a no brainer. This mirror even comes with the correct adapters to fit the Ford's different plugs.

Hope all is well with you fellers. I got the Scion Pioneer stereo put in the 'Yota last night, and I put 4 Pioneer 6.5" 3-way speakers in it Saturday. What a HUGE difference. I kind of... sort of.... want to think about putting one of these in the Stang. Really a great little stereo with iPod control, AUX, SAT, Subwoofer control (gain and phase). Not bad for 45 dollars, and no rewiring.




Oh and my friends....

That show is the reason why I always jump into my open window head first on my truck. Really sets the tone when you have to grab a folder for a landowner.

Nice. Looking good Whitey. How are the TV wires run? Thru the wall?
