Signal Mirrors

[rowhard]

I like to be safe when driving, and driving professionally has made me even more aware of the problems we encounter on our roads. We have all seen these flashing chevron turn signals in the outside mirrors that newer vehicles have. There is a company that offers a replacement mirror. (It would be a special order of course for the VX) So I contacted them to see how much? $269.00, to much for me. I mentioned that I belonged to a International group (as in us) and they do offer a group discount. Anyone interested? Maybe if 10 of us were to commit, would see how much then.

Seems like a fairly simple process to do if you have a few tools and don't might tearing into it

here is their web site to check it out. http://www.muthco.com/?utm_source=si...utm_campaign=w

what about looking for ones designed for a rodeo or trooper? im sure someone makes something aftermarket for those for cheaper.

IF it is the same mirror and I don't know if it is the same shape/size, am sure there might be. This company might have it too. This price quote was for a special order Vehicross.

The rodeo is the same shape and size I think.. just no mirror heat..

[pbkid]

troopers have the same mirror for sure... thats where people get the 'chrome' mirrors like "Vcamillo", off of troopers

It drives me "crazy" when people don't use their turn signals.
It is a communication device.Let me know what you're going to do!!

Just to prove your "international group" claim, I would be in for a pair of mirrors.

Not even worried about the heat feature - only gets cold enough to use it a couple of days a year.

Keep us posted, and thanks.

Damn, forgot you poor cousins don't have that feature.

Cancel my order unless they also fold.
Always use that when I park in a carpark.

I do not have scientific proof but it seems to me the more bells whistles lights etc we add the more we tend to ignore them. Remember the 70s and car alarms came out? They would alert everybody your car was being stolen. Now we here an alarm and evrybody is like I so hope tha car is being stolen. I do not see as adding more flashers would help as if you do not see the tail lights or the spoiler lights who is going to see little lights on the side mirrors. And to lose the functionality that is effective is a lose lose to me

mmm... see thats why you have to get creative...
the general car alarm tone... yes, thats just irritating.. but when it sounds like a semi is driving down your street, everyone looks

and i also disagree about adding more light... i know that if something really bright for example was shining my way before someone changed lanes, i would definately see what that person was doing and why there was a bright light shining my way.

agree'd PB kid! my alarm attracts a whole lot of attention, its an 18" air horn, sounds like a boat!

as for the turn signals on the mirrors, it makes a big difference on the VX because we dont have factory turn signals on the side of the vehicle.

[MSHardeman]

We might not have factory turn signals on the side of the VX, but two of the very first mods I did to my VX were Tone and Moncha's side marker light to turn signal conversion.

That was over four years ago and everything is still going strong. Don't know if it's helped any, but it sure couldn't hurt. Haven't side swiped anyone yet (knock on wood).

Had a real loud alarm in acar he parked in front of my apartment where he could not here his own alarm going off every so often because of wind. He was pissed when the cops towed and he got ticketed for disturbing the peace. I think he paid $400 for the impound and tickets. That was almost worth losing the sleep he made me lose. But it was cheaper than 4 new tires.
