I really liked them. the stock units are so heavy and look so chunky

The stock mirrors are as large or larger than those that came on the 1950 and 60s pickup trucks... I like the round conical shaped mirrors that were popular after market parts used on British sports cars.... I know the stock mirrors have to be having a negative affect on fuel mileage and top end speed even if they have a somewhat aerodynamic shape.

I never noticed you had aftermarket mirrors solbrother, then again I don't see many pics of your car. They look really nice

thanks! I'm actually back to OEM. I think I will make some more mounts and go back to motorcycle mirrors

This is one thing I like about the GD over the GE, the side mirror mounting. The GD seems to be like the Snisen and probably could even use that same base.
