I picked up the first set of mirror heads tonite for testing - good news and bad news. The good news is that they are dead on, at least from the outside. I got a quick lesson on installation and plan to tackle the project tomorrow (have to get a hair dryer - I don't have enough hair to own one for any other reason )

The bad news (really Bad!!) is that there aren't 20 sets - there are only 6 besides mine I looked back over the post and it looks like the list is as follows:

1) Capri
2) Military vx'r
3) Tomdietrying
4) Hiss
5) Deathbyarchitect
6) Omega VX
7) Apostle
8) Hchen
9) TrooperCROSS
10) Lenny
11) Loco6464
12)Vcamilo
13) Robvx
14) Skunkworks

I couple of people were iffy, but I can't imagine that we'll make it to the end of the list - and for that I apologize, I was just going by what he told me on the phone.
My quick installation instruction were as follows;
-snap cover off interior mirror mount & remove bolts
-remove electrical connector
-remove 3 bolts attaching head to pivot (mine doesn't have covers over the holes for these bolts - does anyone else?)According to this guy, they should have plastic covers to cut down wind noise??
-use hair dryer to heat the black plastic gasket around the mirror gasket (black line you see around the glass)
- use a plastic spatula to pry the mirror glass out - he says the glass isn't glued in, but has a butyl tape behind it to reduce vibration, and that the mirror glass will stick to this over time
-remove screw behind mirror
-remove three screws holding motor into housing
-reverse the process and install into new housing

He said 25 min per mirror - I'm figuring an hour each. Sounds like the only hard part is removing the glass without breaking it. He threw in a set of mirror glasses for me, and I think I can get him to do the same on the other 6 sets, which should eliminate the risk of being "mirrorless".

I asked him about chroming our mirror heads, and he said it can't be done, they won't hold up to the heat. HOWEVER - you could buy a set of Passport mirrors from a junkyard, disassemble them and have them chromed. These are Passport mirrors, they are made of a different plastic than the Isuzu mirrors. The Isuzu mirrors are made from a plastic that resists UV fading, but it will not stand up to the heat of chroming or paint booth baking. The Passport mirrors were painted, so they were made from a different plastic which would withstand the heat. Just a little FYI...

I'll post tomorrow with some pics after I get them installed

One other thing - close inspection revealed that the chroming on these mirrors isn't perfect. There are very small imperfections - the size of grains of sand (just re-read this, actually they are smaller than grains of sand - very small) - at least on the set I have. You don't notice them unless you are right up on the mirror, and they are not all over, just in couple of small areas. I'm fairly anal when it comes to my car, but I can live with it - for those of you more anal than me, be advised!
