That's how I'm going to do it. I want my truck to be a truck, with a bit of racecar thrown in for good measure.

Probably more because I just don't g.a.s. what others think of my ride(s).

That is the first lowered one I have seen with them still on it. I am having my truck painted though. In hindsight, I should have just left it alone :D
You are outta your mind for painting that truck lol. But since that's what's happening, I'd slap the normal dumbo mirrors on it if you want to actually be able to see. The sport mirrors look great but they're useless.

Also, just be aware that 95% (or maybe all of them, I'm not sure) of the aftermarket dumbo's base doesn't hug the door contour exactly right. That's because they unknowingly were developed using van mirrors. You can't really tell unless you know about it, but just an FYI

I think I am going to keep them for a few reasons, 1. It's the laziest approach and requires no fab work, 2. They look good on that orange truck, 3. I know I can see out of them.
Use what it came with

That truck's got such killer patina and the mirrors match, no way I'd change them.

I like the wide steelies in the back, very subtle.
