Thank you, R.L.K! It was a pleasure doing business with you. I sure hope the airbag recall fixes go smoothly. It seems like I have a stack of recalls sitting on my desk...all waiting for parts to get into the dealership.

Thank you again, keep in touch!

I got it last Monday, thanks Wade.
I wish you've come up with a little wider version in the near future. :)

9th...I wanted to also add...you obviously have the non-dimming mirrors so the good news is, we are designing the model for that mirror right now. I will make sure to make those wider...and there is a good chance there may be a wider version for the auto dimming mirrors in the works as well.

I finally got time to post.

Got mine also, installed them and went for a ride. They look great and do a good job of relieving that annoying blind spot. I'm looking forward to taking the truck out on the highway to see how they work in traffic.

I do have to agree with 9th in that they could be a little wider or maybe not tipped outward quite as much, but, still a fantastic, high quality, product.

Now it's time to make Wade blush just a bit.

In the few emails I've had with him he strikes me as "the salt of the earth" kind of a guy. I had a little trouble with his web site: he talked me right through it. I got my order in: he shipped immediately. I screwed up and ordered 2 mirror packs, thinking I was ordering 2 individual mirrors: within minutes (and I MEAN minutes) he credited my account and provided me with a postage paid return label. Now he's going to redesign the product for those who don't have the right mirrors and provide them for free.

Wade is the kind of people who have made this country the greatest nation that has ever existed. I'm certain his commitment to his customers and attention to detail will help his company grow and prosper. Best of luck my friend!

This may be a dumb question, but can you see the parking lines when backing into a parking space.

Howard...you did make me blush and I want to thank you for the kind words!! It has been a rough week as I truly didn't see the curveballs that came at me through this project, but I always come back to 'I always want the customer to come out on top'. The Ram community has been awesome and even though there has been some bumps on my end, the fact has been proven over and over again that the Ram Community is the best group of people in the world...which you are one of and have been awesome to work with! Thank you!

Now, there is definitely some work that needs to be done on my end to solve the problems I have with this current product and I gladly do it as I feel like I owe it to this awesome group. Onward and upward...

Thank you, my friend!
Wade

I have been asked about this a few times. I never realized how many people use blind spot mirrors to use as parking line indicators. By the way, the answer is no, but they are visible on my stock mirrors.

Mineralram...when I design the mirror for your passenger side (the non-dimming mirror), it is going to be wider. And, I think I mentioned this on another comment, but I am going to re-look at the current blind spot mirror and have it redesigned to make it wider as well.

I didn't want to take up a lot of space of the stock mirror as I know that that view is important too. But, looking at it now, I can see that I certainly could have made the mirror wider.

As soon as I come up with a concrete design, I will share it with you.

Thank you for everything!

Wade

My continued use of the Wadestar blind.spot mirrors = I love these things more everytime I drive with them !
Makes it much easier to confidently change lanes on the highway or in city traffic .

Parking lines are not visible especially on the drivers side unless you point them way down which makes that position useless for normal driving.
