Convex mirrors without tint

[Headsong]

I just stuck this on my Bronco a couple weeks ago. I found it while doing some clean up in the shop. It is the lower mirror from an 11-16 Super Duty. It was about $15 on Amazon. Not perfect, but it is growing on me.

That's a big one! (Yes, that's what she said....) For $10 I got a much smaller one that does the job quite well...had a gal riding in my blind spot quite a while and could NOT see her no matter what. Yes, the orange light's on, but who pays attention to that? Couldn't adjust mirror to suit myself. So $10. Done.

@Headsong, do you have a link or is it one of the stick on convex mirrors?
@Houston PSD, how did you attach the lower super duty mirror?

Thank you in advance.

It is attached with 4 small circles of double sided tape at the corners. It leaves a gap between the OEM mirror and the convex. This is just the mirror glass. I honestly just decided to try it because I had it leftover from an old truck. So far so good.

Thanks. Certainly cheaper than my $249 option.

Yeah, just stopped into an O'Reilly's since it was handy....all the usual round ones in different sizes. I went with a small rectangular one that has an angle as well...sticks on, yes. A wee bit small, but traded that for not being too obtrusive.

That's what I did as well. Don't even notice it unless I want to. Works perfect (for me).
I think it was ~$8 for two.

Damn. You’re right. The grey is DARK. That’s unfortunate. Sticking with OEM.

I found these and bought two sets (one for my bronco and one for my wife's). Should be delivered in the next few days. I'll report back.

Let us know. From the pics they look like the same manufacturer as SUMA w/o the tint. Still more than I’d like to spend. Hopefully @Mabett can figure this out for less.

I got them the other day. Haven't installed them yet, but they are clearly tinted as they are definitely darker than the OEM mirrors. Will try them this weekend hopefully and see (or not see!).

Ugh. So, SUMA w/o the $35 logo. Great.

I don't understand the reluctance to make a convex mirror without tint. Clearly there is a need to upgrade the side mirrors, and there appears to be at least a bit of demand for them, but no one wants to make them.
