What do think of these cheap FC mirrors?

Found them for $50 shipped with amber turn signal LED's in each one what do you guys think? Personally I think there sweet and will be shortly be ordering a set.

The company says they're a direct bolt on replacement, we'll see

i am pretty good at picturing things in my head, to me i think they wouldn't fit the lines of the car and the LEDs would be a bit much for an 80's style car.

my opinion:

too ricey.

all i'm saying is i got 2 and 1/2 turbo mirrors for $31, all they needed is paint. No need to buy fancy LED mirrors, not to mention they're kinda ugly

Be careful doing that, because it may be illegal where you are to have red lights on the front of your car. Around here, only emergency vehicles are allowed to have red lights on the front.

Why would you want mirrors that reduce rearward vision? And side indicators are supposed to be amber, so why would you put red LED's in?

Most cars have turn signals on the mirrors so cars beside them can see it. Those LEDs are on the front so it would be useless for that reason.

Other than that, those looks pretty decent.

I don't know the laws in your state, but it might be illegal to have red light showing from the front of your car... you know, if you care about that sort of thing it would be a shitty thing to get a ticket over is all

And blue one are better?!

Why do you feel the need to put blue LED's anywhere on your car? Are you that starved of attention?

actually I was just side swipped in my 1971 road runner by some old lady trying to pass on my left as I was turning left and did 2k in damage which insurance won't cover cause parts are so hard to get. As for the blue color, I just thik if I have to go rice Id rather have blue than amber in my attempt to avoid another possible disaster.

On that note anyone know where to get original fenders and not reman.?

safetly/peace of mind > your opinion

The LED's are on the front, so if you're trying to avoid a repeat of that incident you're buying the wrong product. And if safety is so important for you, why are you buying smaller mirrors that would make it even harder for you to see someone coming up beside you?

I believe most states have it being illegal to have red or blue lights on the exterior of your car, with the exception of brake lights and rear blinkers, of course.
