That is a lot better than one I've seen. A clean installation.

I like your method better than any I have seen yet. I like the fact that you can go back to the original mirrors if you want to

I like tow mirrors, however was not a fan of these mirrors only because the way I have seen them previously installed did away with the vent window. This idea looks refreshing. What year do these mirrors come from? The ones I have seen were rigid horizontal post mount. I've bought a set of RV mirrors for my build that will mount to the door.

I don't like them because of the spot mirror.
I've thought about the pick-up sized west coast mirrors that JC Whitney carries.
I do like this idea for mounting better than the others, though.
