I found this on the web a couple of minutes ago. I know there has been quite a few posts on here about it. No real good solutions though. These however look f'n awesome! I think this is what some of you have been looking for. Only thing I'd like to know is, how do I fill in the wing window and make it look seamless?

This just my opinion do what you wish but I think that is hideous. A mockery of the Squares classic styling and rendering one of the Squares great attributes useless.....the wing window but to each his own.

Agreed. I have hybrid truck-van mirrors on mine. Classic look with out sticking out to far.

To me those don't match at all, but I don't really like any plastic on my square's body. And to give up the wing window, that's just too much. I know I'm the minority but I kinda like the old tow mirrors on the right truck.

Even if you do like those modern mirrors, driving around with the wing windows covered up would be a PITA. If you want to experiment, cover yours up with tape and drive around like that for a day or two. Just be careful on left turns.

Are they really that much bigger then the stock square body ones? They look about the same to me other then the bend in the stem
