    I asked them for details on this item. They don't have a base plate for the FTO?

    Can't guarantee fitment with others.

    Unless you could make something up.

    My old FTO had some mirrors similar to these.

    They were attached to the little triangular plastic pieces on the door and the original holes were filled in.

    if someone near me gets these, I'm willing to help install them (just need to fab up some mounting brackets and wire them in to the existing controls... I'll help with the bracket... won't help with the wiring lol)
