enigma-2 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Size comparison... New one with blind spot mirror, old without.As an FYI, the blind spot glass came on the 2009 MKX, they switched over mid year. (I changed the glass on mine to get the bsm, never considered going to a complete mirror housing for a later year). Looks good however.

MikeKiloXrayOhNiner Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Congrats, any difference in wind noise at speed? I haven't driven with them on yet. The passenger side mirror should arrive on Wednesday and then I'm taking the caps in to get painted. I'm hoping I'll have them on the car permanently next week. As an FYI, the blind spot glass came on the 2009 MKX, they switched over mid year. (I changed the glass on mine to get the bsm, never considered going to a complete mirror housing for a later year). Looks good however. Thanks! Yeah, the whole experiment started because of three ideas in my head: 1) I like the way the shape of new style mirrors look a little better than the early style like my MKX had. 2) I rented a Taurus on a trip out west in early June and really liked the blind spot mirrors once I got used to them. 3) I love the way the MKX looks however, the large chrome caps on the larger old style mirrors aren't exactly my taste. My plan is to ultimately "de-chrome" the car a little bit. I originally figured I'd get paint to match mirrors regardless of which model of mirror I went with. Anyway, I'm glad the new style is plug and play. I made sure I got the mirrors with the exact same options I already had (except the blind spot mirrors which require no power). I will post some better before and after pics once the new ones are ready to go on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKiloXrayOhNiner Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Dropped the mirrors off at the body shop this afternoon. Should get them back tomorrow night. I'll post some update pics this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKiloXrayOhNiner Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Ok folks.... Just got the new, freshly painted 11-14 Edge Mirrors installed on my 09 MKX. Looks pretty dang sharp if you ask me but I'm biased. Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: ...and After again: Probably good for an extra 10HP and 5MPG... Lost a little low end TQ though. Lol Edited July 16, 2016 by MikeKiloXrayOhNiner 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
