New for me, old for some
Well I scored a pair of gagt mirrors today for only $25. I still need to clean them up a little but I love the new look (no more Mickey Mouse ears).
My driver side stock mirror needed to get replaced anyways so it was a nice upgrade.

It's really simple except if you have manual mirrors, fishing the cables can be a pain without pulling the door panel off but not too bad.
It's exactly like colonel6632 said, pull the tweater sail and 3 bolts and your good to replace. My passenger side was a little loose after replacing so I grabbed the foam from the stock mirror and doubled it up to make it a tighter fit, seems to work for now.

I guess I'm weird, I only like those on aleros if they have a body kit... Do they look different in person then in the picture?

Exactly how I feel. If they were more rounded, that would be a different story
