See the previous page, we filled it up with chatter. 
So I got good news and bad news. If there's any such thing as good news in this thread HA!
The good news is:
I got some new mirrors.
The bad news is:
They aren't the right ones.
Somehow someway, wires got crossed and I was sent a different set.
However.....
I don't think it's all that bad. I actually kind of like them. They look like a copy of the ganadors, but with a marker light. They are made with decently thick plastic, and they don't fold, which is a bummer. Check out the pics:
Yes I know my cars filthy.
But so, honestly, I don't think they look bad at all. The only thing that I don't like is the dull plastic, but some primer and some black paint and clear coat. Bang. I think they would look good.
What do you think?

Ah I see.
Haven't installed yet. Going to tackle it tomorrow.
I was pretty shocked when I opened the box, but it probably worked out for the best. These look about 10 times better than the ones I actually ordered.
I'll use them till the motor burns out or something then go back to the oem ones.

Lol no offense taken, I didn't make them. I wasn't expecting epicness out of these. Even if the were the right set. They were less than 40 bucks for both of the mirrors, so I don't expect a lot of quality either. Just giving me something to screw with while I wait on my engine parts to come back from powder coat. I'll probably rock them for a while before they either break or I get sick of them.
I really would like to see what the other set looks like though, but I don't want to go through the hassle of returning these.
Someone else buy them, just for fun.
Edit:
I may take a can I VHT to the indicators to tone them down a tad.

Well they are both installed. I didn't hook up the turn signal lights, just because I don't feel like running a bunch of wire.
So, I think after I take a can of VHT to the turn signals and black them totally out, it will look better.
They are starting to grow on me.
I've been looking at the ganadors a lot, and these look VERY similar except for the stupid turn signal. So I'm going to Rock them for a while until I get the craft squares.
Again, yes the car is filthy.
