"Standard" mirror pictures

[mike diesel]

My truck came with the accordion tow mirrors on it so of course I took those off and went with the new style tow mirrors and love them...well now that the truck has plan of going "faster" and has literally towed 1 trailer since I have owned it, I'm thinking I may want to go to the "regular" mirrors.

Can anyone post a few pics of when they had tow mirrors to now having regular mirrors?

Im looking to swap my "regular" mirrors for tow mirrors if your interested

Mine may not help much because my truck looks significantly different in the pictures I have with tow mirrors versus the pictures I have with regular mirrors.

I have a set of chrome capped regular mirrors, power and heated if you're interested in trading also. I have an '01 though so plug might be different?

I wouldn't be interested in chrome capped ones.

I don't know how I feel about trading either, the passenger mirror can be a little stubborn sometimes and won't move the glass properly, I wouldn't want someone else to have to deal with it.

AFAIK they are all chrome capped for OBS silverados from the factory. only tahoe, burb, Yukon had a color option.

Just plastidip that shit

Looking on good ol ebay, you can get the black plastic ones without chrome caps.

I love the look of the lmm+ standard mirrors, but now I'm not so sure I like the standard mirrors for 03-07.

Some came black, the ones I bought for my truck have black caps. The caps are stick-on too, so if you can find a set of chrome cap mirrors and a separate set of black caps they can be swapped out. Did that on my 01.

I'm in the process of grafting on a set of lmm mirrors I will post a pic when done. So far its a lot of work

chrome caps was a 99-02 thing only, for both trucks and SUV's. 2003-2007 pickup trucks had all black textured plastic mirrors only, regardless of trim level.

2003-2007 SUV's all had body-color mirrors, unless its a super base model SUV.

If you see a 2003+ truck or SUV with chrome mirror caps, its something aftermarket...

$88 for a pair of new mirrors is hard to beat.

Replaced my wife's with eBay ones, (She didn't want to spend the $$ on OEM) Installed. She left to the store and called 5 min later telling me to order OEM cause they were moving/shaking so bad she couldn't see. I was lucky, I was able to return them to the eBay seller.

eh Im not a fan of those...I think they look like something cheesy off of a 90's compact car...and they dont fold.

Until someone makes an aftermarket power-fold tow mirror for the GMT-800's (or until I find a set of 2015+ power fold tow mirrors for free and figure out how to retrofit those onto a GMT-800), Im perfectly happy with my standard power folding mirrors.

I dont tow enough to want to put up with the lack of power fold on the GMT-800 tow mirrors. And I hate how they arent level. Yes, I know you can take them apart and shim them to level them, but even when you do that, they still look "off", and from <10' away you can tell they were hacked with...
