Kevin Patten Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Has anyone done a outside mirror upgrade/mod using the 2011-2012 outside mirrors on their 2007- 2008 Shelby GT? I'm thinking about doing this and would like to see some pics from anyone who has done it and also find out what parts are needed to make it a complete swap out. I'm thinking about using just the standard mirror units and not getting the ones with the "spotter" lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 DSG Snake Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Seen it done before. Only mod needed is to slightly enlargen the bolt holes from what I recall. APR makes a very nice slim carbon mirror as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I've seen the APR but I am staying away from "the carbon fiber" trim look (I'd just go crazy with it). I would like to see how the lines of the later mirror look with the earlier S197 body lines. I like the paint matched mirror skull caps as well. Looking for pics of it being done.

39Mustang Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I swapped the factory mirrors on my 2008 which are ugly to Agent 47 Racing mirrors which look great. You lose minimal viewing range but that's it They can come paint matched or flat Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Did the Agent47 mirrors before - looking for something different and follows the body lines of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39Mustang Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Did the Agent47 mirrors before - looking for something different and follows the body lines of the car. NONE of the Ford mirrors follow the lines of the car not even on the 2015. The Challenger mirrors would look good on the Mustang and is maybe what Saleen is using now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBlueHeaven Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks - great info! Now to find out who has the best prices on the Ford part numbers. New take off.com has them from 154 with only power no heat option, to 255 for heated and with pony light. several options from what I can see. I wonder what the dealers are asking for them as well, Might check the JY also. I'm sure there are plenty there, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIKEBOY Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Wow, thanks for the info on these fellas... Been wanting to do this myself of late. I have no interest in the little wide angles myself either. Too "bizzy" and in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Received my mirrors today - the boxes look like UPS played soccer with them but, the parts survived and were undamaged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I see that BIKEBOY did this on his GT500 and posted in the 500 section - looks great - yes he posted pics so, check it out if your thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
