K Source Universal Replacement Classic Oblong Mirror – Driver & Passenger Side, 4 11/16" x 3 5/8" Mirror, Chrome Finish, Easy Install, For Most Cars, Vans, SUVs & Trucks

I've had 2 CIPA 18000 Universal Oblong Chrome Car Side Mirrors on my classic for several years, but was slightly unhappy with the amount of inboard swivel to get it aimed correctly on the passenger side. Needed another, and this looked similar, so I thought I'd give it a try to see if it pleased me more. This is a product with a glass mirror mounted in a chromed-plastic housing. The mirror is flat, not convex at all. Both the body around the mirror and the stem that mounts to the car are plastic. There is a screw adjustment to make the swivel stiffer or looser, and a steel bracket that mounts to the car-door with sheet-metal screws through elongated holes -- I was able to use the existing mirror bolts and bolt positions, and the holes are elongated by about 4 cm so there is plenty of adjustment to get the mirror body into the right fore-aft position. Having compared the mirror, gasket, and bracket, I can say that this product is completely indistinguishable from the CIPA 18000. They look like they came off the same assembly line from the same molds. When you stand within a meter of this you might notice that there is a hint of a mold parting line, but at greater distances it just looks chromey like the rest of the chrome on the car. I've taken it through the automatic car-wash with no damage. Colin Chapman used to say 'Simplify, then add lightness' was his secret of racing track success. This has all the appearance and durability of a molded pot-metal chromed accessory, but a fraction of the weight. And it lets me see who is behind me in the adjacent lane.

These mirrors are absolutely terrible. They didn't mount properly and continued to slip off their mounting brackets. Additionally, they are hard to adjust due to the fact that they are made entirely of plastic. As soon as I tried to adjust them they dislodged from the mounting brackets and were only hanging by the set screw.

GREAT PRICE

As other review have commented, it's not solid metal, but I find it to be very solid. It has a funky attachment mechanism to the car, but it seems to work and stay in place, although I'm not quite sure how. Be careful how you mount it relative to the angle you will need to rotate it to in order to see behind your vehicle. It seems to have a somewhat limited rotation range once mounted. Overall, for the price, I'm statisfied.

Got two of these for my 1969 GTO which was missing the side mirrors. It's a 10 footer - looks ok but up close you can tell it's a cheap plastic mirror. Get's the job done - needed it to pass safety inspection. Will be replacing it with mirrors from OPGI when I start my restoration

This was shipped fast, easy to install ,good quality and looked great!!!

This mirror is suppose the fit Horizontal (Just as the picture suggest) but it will not rotate. Therefore it mounts only in a vertical position - Which does Not work for seeing behind you (as mirror's are set up to do). I needed help installing (that is when we realized this mirror was not what it was suppose to be), the return window closed & now I have a reject mirror!! Not Happy

As long as you don’t get rough with it. It is plastic, but still looks good & works well.
