    What is the secret to getting the credit card form? I sent a couple of PM's but have not received anything.

    This may be a stupid question but I don't want to force anything. After installing I was attempting to fold them in. They didn't want to budge. Is there some trick or am I missing something? Again I didn't want to put to much force on them so its entirely possible I just didn't push hard enough.

    No trick. They're just stiff.

    Just towed home my brand new camper. The truck was awesome towing it and the mirrors were outstanding to run with. I am so glad that I spent the money on these. Thanks Rob!

    They are not bad. It is ok. Wish the right mirror was the style (objects in mirror are closer than they appear). It was weird getting used to it. Only have 100 miles towing with them

    No blindspots for me. With the large corner blindspot mirrors built in I can see much more than with the stock mirrors. The passenger mirror being flat takes a bit of getting use to, but is much better for backing trailers because it gives you a truer undestorted picture. Big trucks have flat mirror glass too.

    I guess I am not living right. Can't seem to get information about where/how much these are. Is this someone making them out of their garage or is this a real production run with a reputable company behind them?

    Please don't take this the wrong way but did you read the whole first post? These were a preproduction buy from ProEFX for a new product that we are introducing. There is a link in the first post to a poll that I made and the results from the people on this site were used to make the final decision as to what models were to be produced. As a way of thanking the people of this site we had decided to have a limited time Group Buy (which has since ended).

    BTW. ProEFX is a truck accessory division of the company I work for called LKQ.
    Here is a link,

    Thanks for the response. Also don't take this the wrong way but I did read the first post and did not click on the poll link. I read through most of the (at the time) 14 pages and saw that you extended the group buy beyond the initial target group. In addition I saw where you were working with people by sending them a credit card form. I sent you a few PM messages and did not receive a response - perhaps the pm system is not working.

    I apologize for asking the questions, but quite frankly a google search got me here and it was not very clear what the state of purchasing the mirrors were at this point in time. With no response I had no idea what was going on.

    Came tonight...and of course the wife has taken the truck for a girl's night out! :mad:

    They sure seem huge...I don't see how there can possibly be a blind spot.

    I'm jealous.

    Rob,
    I have to say I was a bit disappointed after we spoke today to learn that you have not had a chance to ship out the units going to Canada.

    Please let me know once they have been shipped as my main reason for buying them was for the snowmobile season.
    At this rate, due to the manufacturing delay and now the delay in shipping I will probably miss the whole season!

    Shawn.

    Blind spot is in FRONT of the truck.

    Pedestrians seem to like to hide in the blind spot from my A-pillar.

    I followed the link, but I could not find a place to order the mirrors. Are they available for order?

    Installed them this morning...actually impressed the wife since it didn't take any time at all. :D

    They don't seem nearly as huge and bulky on the truck as they did coming out of the box and the visibility is super. Even the mirror glass seems better than in the stock Tacoma mirrors.

    I can hardly wait to go north and pick up my new car hauler! :)

    I've decided I want to hook mine up to parking lights and to work as turn signals. Anyone know what tires I would need to splice into for this? Any sort of guide for install in terms of wiring?
