That looks good to me! I’d like to get a pair. Just can’t justify $200+ right now (tires + level are priority). Hoping to catch the next holiday deal or something.

What’s with those smoked turn signals? Link?

Frankly I got them some time ago and forgot from where - AliExp They were cheap is all I remember and just hadn't gotten around to installing them. They have FoMoCo molded into them, in fact they look identical to the factory units except for the tint.

1 year warranty they said. Those are very nice, but I am not crazy about splicing wires for the blinker. I was hoping for a Y connector for the money (or an extra $10) even.

LB
I'm saving the factory units just in case of course. I agree the cost is steep and it may be a while before I decide the benefits justify the $. As for the turn signal splicing I thought I had planned for that but the shape of the Ford rubber socket going into the lens is odd. I would have rather soldered and waterproofed a splitter and could do it but didn't have what I needed on hand.

This is fine.
Ummm, I'm on the East Coast and these come from Asia - mine have been on my truck for a week.

From my public school education I'm pretty sure you are closer to the place of manufacture and would expect you to have yours.

Did you get shipping notification and a tracking number?

Negative. Haven't heard anything. The shop app I downloaded for just this has only ever said Order placed 3-5 business days. I'm glad you've gotten yours. Just some kind of an update at this point would be great.

@Suma Performance can you help a customer out?

And as a side note, the fires on Maui are starting to look like a mass casualty event that is going to be a national tragedy. Really horrible ?

Yeah, it really is horrible. My Ranger came from Maui but I live on Oahu. Business as normal here except we have been sending supplies to Maui. Thanks to reaching out to Suma for me, I tried email but it wanted me to redownload my mail app and it made me cranky.

If you haven’t received yours, please email us [email protected] or DM us here.

On a separate note, is everyone ok with the fitting of your Summa mirrors? I have 2 customers saying the fitting was off, but we used the OEM mirrors to make the mold. Are there two different models with the 5th gen Rangers?

I don't see anyone posting issues on the forum, I wonder if the curvature of the Sumas (to make them more convex) is what makes them appear off unless the mounting ring is crooked on the back?

Hey Racket, I believe I'm one of the people Eddy is referring to.

I got my Suma mirrors maybe a month or more ago and totally love them but they seem to be sitting crooked or rotated in the housings. The left side appears to be rotated CW just a bit and the right side looks like its rotated CCW an equal amount. Its most prominent when looking at the gap between the housing and the mirror along the bottom edge. The mirror doesn't crash into the housing anywhere. Everything works and looks great just... very marginally crooked.

I went full OCD a couple weeks ago and measured the factory mirror against the Suma mirror and the Sumas look like they're about 2 degrees off for my mirrors... or my specific fitment issue, whatever the real problem here is.

For the record, the mirrors shown here aren't in a driving position. I moved them into a general spot to try and highlight the misalignment I'm seeing.

Racket, how are your mirrors sitting? I can't quite tell when looking at your photos of the left mirror but the right one looks crooked like mine.

I'll check when it's light out again. I see what you mean by yours being off by a degree or two, yours look from the pictures like they are offset inwards as well. I don't suppose rotating the mirrors back like that shifted their position? Zooming my after pictures the driver's side looks fine and maybe from the driver's seat perspective I took the passenger side from might look slightly off. Don't know if a resolution would be a Suma thing or if there is some adjustability in the Ford housing?
