I like these too, these are the first pics of them on a jeep I've seen.

I think an extra set of factory mirrors are about $110.00 each

Interesting. It seems like a lot of effort though. Do you have to swap the entire mirror assembly every time you put the doors back on?

If they sold a set just like those that came with factory (or factory style mirrors) for $100ish I think they would have a hard time keeping them in stock.... But IMHO $70ish and having to pop them off the doors each time is not worth it.

I do like the design and the appearance of them.

I cannot believe how lazy some people are about taking out a few bolts take u 5min or less, mostly less unless you are really slow, I just dont get it with all the things we do to our jeeps people whining about taking out 4 bolts to move the mirrors....where is the fire?

Its not lazy... have you ever been to north east texas? The weather changes here multiple times a day. I cannot count how many times I have popped my doors off only to put them back on the same day. The weatherman say its a 20% chance like everyday. lol. If I had them all ready to go then it would save me tons of headache on days that the weather changes. Sometimes when you have to run home on a lunch HOUR to put a top and doors on every minute counts.

Just checked the tracking number. That's what UPS is saying.

I think you can get an extra set for less than $100 at some of those discount parts places (e.g. Mopar Parts Online). However, I would encourage anyone to try them without the extra mirrors first. After one or two times I had down a rhythm and it didn't take me much more time. It makes storing the doors easier too.

We haven't found a source of quality mirrors that we could get for a reasonable rate. But, it has been something we've considered for those wanting an extra set. One of the design goals was to maintain OEM style, visibility, and functionality. So going with a cheap set of factory look alikes is not something we want to do.
