I purchased them used for $350. Since they were the newest 09-12 style with the blinkers in a line instead of the 07-08 style with the blinkers in dots, the colors didn't match. So I had to pull them completely apart, and have the 2 bezels and the 2 caps painted for $100. So $450 total and I've got my Esky mirrors.

you actually don't even notice it until you try to look for it. not worth the time spent in fixing that.

Looks Great tho!

Did you get the motor swapped out?

You don't really notice it, but I'm looking at a couple different options. It would be nice to get something flat for there...

I did, I actually got a motor off eBay so I can sell mine as working. What's funny is yours wouldn't go up and down, but the other side won't go left or right. So I have to get one for that side now...

An idea just hit me lookin at your esky mirrors...

I'm wanting to color match mine but the black on mine is that textured plastic. The chrome on that esky mirror is smooth(of course). So instead of smoothing and painting the textured plastic my idea is to get Esky mirrors and paint the chrome part. Since you have the handled the esky mirrors recently do you think this is a feasible idea? Would save me a LOT of work if that area was already smooth :)

Jacob as you know on my white 08 tahoe I had color matched mirrors. If done RIGHT it looks smooth and just like the top part... you just have to sand the F&*% out of it!

Yeah....it was the sanding I was thinking about :lol: was looking for the easier way out :D that color matched action will look :boobs: on my burb.

With that said, these esky mirrors look GREAT on Nathan's with his handles and molding :drool:

Maybe you should go with the chrome handle/esky mirrors/esky roof rack route? :)

:D I'm trying to be a little different but may eventually go down that road. Will be deleting the roof rack before long.

Can you (someone) take a pic of the gap between the mirror and the door trim? I wonder if you could just put some of that insulating foam in there (that has adhesive on one side) and have it compress in there to fill the space...
