will do guys

i will be honestly suprised if it doesnt line up as if it doesnt i didnt pay any attention...


EDIT:


old pic i found in my photobucket showing passenger side






OK so i went and took some drivers side ones....mine DEF dont have that gap henry has.










although mine appears to fit much better than henry's you can see when i folded the mirror in, there has indeed been some rubbing in the bottom right of the mirror shell. since you cant tell when its not folded in, im not sweating it









henry, i know you would hate to do so especially since you have already painted it, cant you smooth down that inside corner of the mirror for a more flush fit?

hmm looking at it your right i have the issue he has in picture 1. leave it up to the body guy to notice. couldnt we just shave that little corner on the mirror and it would fit fine? (im not gonna cause its not bothering me)

I DO NOT have this issue though that he has in # 2 and thats the one i thought he meant...
i never even noticed the first issue until i went and looked at it today. as i said mine is only slightly rubbing and since you cannot tell when i have the mirrors out im not to concerned with it.

Supposedly they all come from the same manufacturer so it wouldn't really matter who you bought it from.

I CLT has verified that the covers are not for RHD, so I'm still investigating my issue. I'm going to give it another try on Saturday and I'll be sure to take pictures of my own.

He is but I'm just saying it doesn't matter if you order the 01-05 side mirrors from CLT or Nigel because they're the same one

Great. CLT is no longer a vendor and he stopped accepting PMs. Now I'm out $100 plus more for paint, and I'm stuck with a poor fitting side mirror that's sitting in the corner of my room.

A reason why I didn't buy these is, you can't have a great OEM fit for that cheap coming from a overseas factory. You can tell how cheap it is merely by the interior of the product in how the plastic is molded. ...... I digress.

I hope you get it all sorted.
