Default Side Mirror Bra/Covers

Does anyone have any pictures of their side mirror covers/bra? I've found sets of them on multiple website and most have the exact same picture on every site. I can't find any legitimate pictures, especially how the cover looks from the back (as in, a picture where you can see the mirror and the cover and how it would look from the driver's perspective).

Anyone have some decent pictures (and a link to buy them)? I just ordered my GM bra for the front of the car and need some mirror covers too.

Thanks

I use a set of the mirror covers on my car. I bought them from a forum member but I believe they are the same as you can get from vendors like Mid-America or Ecklers. They are made from a heavy vinyl with a soft backing and attach around the mirrors with an elastic cord and Velcro. They work very well in protecting the mirror and I've not had any problems with them staying on the car at speed.

Here are a few pics of them on the car.

Sorry that the first pic is a bit out of focus.

I have had the clear bra type material put on mine. Really can't even tell they are there. Sorry I don't have pics but unless you are within about a foot from the back of the mirrors, you wouldn't see them anyway. I had them put on when I did the rest of the car but I'm sure you could have them done by themselves if you wanted.

I'm not a fan of bras of any type, but IMHO the lacy ones look the best!

Thanks guys. I think you guys have these, or ones similar, correct?

Does anyone have pictures of these though? I've seen these listed on multiple websites but I can't find anyone that has them:

Those stretch fit ones are OK and offer some benefits such as being able to be washed and very compact storage, but they will not protect against larger rock hits like the vinyl. The choice is yours, but I much prefer the heavy vinyl ones on my car.

Some 'guys' never take their bras off!
Why hide the mirrors/front end with a bra?

Thanks. This is the only official opinion of the stretch ones I've found. I'll probably go for the vinyl ones.
