What Owners Say

Mirrors

"The mirrors are not wide enough, and the width of the width of the mirror is a problem. The width needs to be widened at least more. Those mirrors are cheap fix, and you can make them stronger, more mobile, nicer looking, in part, because color can be matched with seats and panels. I have one or two other suggestions of interest. Land: 11 am all day; Cell: 530 7812912; less preferable than land because many people garble their words when trying to speak with you. The background noise can be distracting. Even when these things are working wel, they dont best a a good landline. Am I wrong about the phone thing. Just curious."
