Next best thing to Safari Mirrors, but they look much better! I wasn't lucky enough to get one at such a cheap price, but still worth it.
It makes a huge difference to be able to see whats out the back lol

Could the same mirrors be fitted using the Nissan mirror extenders, I need to use them to see past the pod which is wider than the cab. Mirror bolted from underneath.

I got the glass replaced recently in one of my wing mirrors from the local glazier and when pricing new ones, the original Nissan extenders are cheap as chips. From memory, less than $20 each.
