wanted to reply and say i got my mirrors today. Installed on my 2015 Ram Rebel.

Drivers side is perfect! oem heated/dimming.
Passenger side is as wade mentioned. It is only heated/NOT dimming, so there is a bit of space.

No idea why they built the truck this way. The NOT Dimming mirror is definitely a bigger mirror.

The dimming mirror is the one the cops light you up with! Kills my night vision for at least half an hour after a (infrequent) stop.

Ordered mine Friday morning and had an email within a few hours there were shipped.
Got them yesterday alone with a hand written thank you note.
Now that's customer service! Can't wait to install them. Thanks Wade!

UPDATE: UFOKillerz made a discovery yesterday when installing his mirrors that I was unaware of.

Apparently RAM installed two styles of mirrors on the same truck (apparently to save money). The driver side has the dimming mirror (OEM part #68079363AA) and the passenger has the non-dimming (OEM part #68079362AA).

Unfortunately those two styles of mirrors are different sizes. The RM9 Blind Spot Mirror is designed for the dimming mirrors and is custom fit for that style. Although they will fit on the non-dimming mirrors, they aren't as custom fit.

I had a meeting with my Manufacturer this morning, and long story short, I am moving forward with designing a Blind Spot Mirror for the non-dimming mirrors.

For any of you who bought a set of my Blind Spot Mirrors, and you have a non-dimming passenger mirror, let me know and when I get the new mirrors manufactured, I will send you a custom fit blind spot mirror for that mirror, free of charge.

Timeline: I hope to have the design finished next week and start making the molds the week of May 23rd - 27th). All in all, I hope to have Inventory for that particular blind spot mirror in 6 - 8 weeks.

This is new to me, but rest assured I am devoting all my time to this so that you can have a custom fit blind spot mirror for whatever style side mirror you have.

Thank you,
Wade

So, I got these mirrors also, because after Wade sending me his phone holder to tinker with in my bench seat Tradesman, I figured WTH I want a pair. And I'm really happy with these mirrors! Short of the integrated blind spot mirrors in my wife's Traverse side view mirrors, these are the best ones I've had on a truck! Now I have the beaux power heated mirrors, no dimming, no turn signal, nothing too fancy. There is about a 1/4" gap on top and bottom, but I mounted mine lower on the mirror to give me the best fit and look. I love the angle they view at and how I can see the blind spot with them.

Now, Wade and I just got off the phone, because he wanted to make sure that it's exactly what I was after and to pick my brain about the fit. Talk about customer service, HE CALLED ME! That alone, is worth the money! Great products from a great man!

Yes, but Wade assured me that he was working to get a second batch made that fit the non-dimming mirrors completely flush like these would on the dimming mirrors
