I'm currently up to my eyeballs trying to get a fuel funny car ready to fire up for next month, got ZERO time to mess with these...or anything else that isn't fuel related at this point.

80 bucks is worth it, if you would have broke the mirror it would have been 7 years bad luck and probably more then $100 for the mirror, and a major pain trying to order it. Those mirror caps look splendid!

Agreed....that was their biggest fear,breaking the mirror. Plus,since I’m leasing,I plan on selling these when I’m done so didn’t want any broken clips...which I would have probably done,lol!

You are paying for their extremely high overhead. So if you want it now, then you have to pay for instant gratification. Otherwise, order online.
