Ordered the HD tow mirrors and attractive LED Tails :D

[Babbitt112]

So It's been months since I posted anything about my ride, mainly because I haven't really done anything to it, but today I was cruisin on Ebay and decided it was time to spend some cash. Bought the fully loaded HD Mirrors (for looks, and FUNCTIONALITY... got to tow a boat to the lake in the summer ), and some really really good looking LED stock style tail lights. Can't wait to get them in to try them on and post some pics!!! First thing i'm going to do when I get em is level the mirrors

Anyway, since I bought the hoe stock, I did a 1.5 to 3" torsion and block lift, threw 25" Nitto A/Ts on it, tinted the windows, all the back is 10%, the front is 35, threw some 8000k HIDs in them, and most recently I installed 2 Pioneer 12's with a 1000watt Pioneer amp, with a homemade ported box. Can't wait to see how them HD mirrors look on the "Rig." It's going to make pulling the boat to the lake a freakin breeze compared to those stock mirrors.

Thanks, driving around I am seeing a lot of turned heads, and it seems like the girls i live near are paying more attention to me, LOL. It's shipping from Cali it should be here in a day or 2. Will upload pics IF it fits my barn door model.

I put these on last week. I believe they are the same model (K Source brand) as the eBay auction listed above. I like the way they look. It's been a little odd getting use to them when driving as there are two mirrors per side; the tall narrow field on top and the manually adjusted wide view on the bottom.

In my opinion there are a few drawbacks (not enough to change them back though!):

-You lose the puddle lamps (if your factory mirrors had them). I've seen on a forum where a guy added them to tow mirrors however.

-You lose the power folding function (if factory equipped); I imagine it would take a pretty strong motor to fold these bad boys in.

-They are a flat black which if fine by me but you have a Z71 you will lose the matching paint that is on the factory mirrors.

-The upper parts of the mirrors are powered. The lower are manual. You use both when driving, towing, and reversing. It takes some patience getting the lower ones in a position that's suitable for all-around driving.

-If you live in a place with a narrow driveway ... well, I can speak from my experience, drive carefully! (Ask me how I know ... )


P.S. The brown spot in the 2nd thumbnail is a leaf ... not rust!

Do you have the driver memory feature? (aka Where you can save seat & mirror positions for two different drivers.) If so, have you had any success in getting the tow mirrors to save your desired positioning?

I've adjusted the power portion the of mirror and have held down the button long enough to "set" the position memory. When I press it again (to adjust mirrors and seats to the stored position), the mirrors move to a position not even close to what I set (the seat does however). It does not matter if I change the positioning of the mirror in-between setting it and "recalling" it.

Perhaps I'm overlooking something; the wiring harnesses are plugged into the correct places.

I bought mine from amazon.com as they had the cheapest price I could find for the pair. They were $245.97 for the pair when I bought them. They are KSource part #: 62075-76G (pair)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005H12QXG/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just as a comparison, Cabela's has them for $204.99 each! http://www.cabelas.com/product/Auto-ATV/Trailering-Performance/Mirrors%7C/pc/104796180/c/104780880/sc/104455980/KSource-Extended-Replacement-Mirrors/1191414.uts

Amazon is out of stock right now, however, you can order them now and they will email you them when available. You will not be charged until they are shipped. The current price on Amazon is $248.09.

(RED RAIDER) That would look immaculate if you painted your hoe or Suburban a flatblack, I love the look of an all black vehicle with very low gloss and tinted windows all around the vehicle. The flat black would run you $2700 at my shop and we would give it 5 sprays of the flat black at 5 layers of clear coat then wet sand her down to get rid of any imperfections; A paint job like this I would charge $5900 but Something about this sight seems to make us more in tune with achother. Where are you do you live and we could also ship the rig but I would need it for at least two weeks to get the paint immaculate. Take Care and think about it?

 

[Da Kidd]

I cant wait till mine come in

 

[06GMC5.3L]

Those look great. Just sand them down and get them painted to match now.

What did you guys do with your stock mirrors?
