Every part of theirs I've used has been excellent. I have not used their mirrors, but would expect the same.

Good to know, my experience with Anvil products in the past has not been good, thankfully they accepted a return without question. Thus the reason for reaching out for a review of this particular item.
Thanks again

I had to "tweek" mine a lot to get them to fit correctly. You can read about my install on Camaros.net

I would be scared off by the preorder status. That could mean waiting 6 months or more.

Yes, they do stay put. i'm not impressed with the quality of the passenger side glass, everything looks a little over magnified and distorted but, it works. Thinking of going back with the original glass on that side.
