Way to go! Looks a hell of alot better. Function is key.....

If we wanted sleek and small why not just drive Mazda Miata's instead of square body gm trucks.

It's like a totally different truck now. Went from a little boy truck to a mans truck in about an hour and 6 screws later. How does it feel to be able to know what's behind you?

Are you able to open your wing windows all the way now? My Blazer originally had sport mirrors and someone installed paddle mirrors right about where you did. The glass wouldn't swing open all of the way. I put sport mirrors back on it, rather than drilling a third set of holes.

I don't know, I don't open my wing windows so I guess that won't be a problem.
