Not sure what the mirrors look like, can the glass be fit somehow or maybe cut to fit ?

completely useless gimmick of an option. with properly set up mirrors you wont have blind spots.

I sent Ford an email to see if they would give me a vendor name for the mirrors.

I know some vendors make things available to other vehicles in the aftermarket.

Kinda like the rearview mirrors camera are made by Gentex

i guess its a cool feature but i have NEVER had a problem seeing in my blind spot just check your mirrors. those escapes are real nice though my dad had one as a work truck 2010 hybrid with sinc its pretty sweet.

Those mirrors, and the little stick on bubble mirrors are such a crutch, what happens when you rent a different vehicle, or worse have to drive a different vehicle in an emergency.
