They will all fit, its the plug that are different. In fact I am pretty sure some years have one harness, others two or something like that. I had bought some mirrors for my 96 from Jamie and they did not match up so I ended up gutting them and stuff to make it all work without modifying the wiring. But I do think he told me ahead of time about that issue I would have.

There were wiring difference based on year and mirror options like dimming and heated mirrors.... you can just use the good outer shell and put your proper mechanism and wiring into it.

93's all have a single plug coming out of them, 94-96 all have double harness's coming out, they will all bolt to all years, but physically wont work. if you have a 93, you need to buy a 93 mirror.

well if you want to try and remove the guts and use the outer shell but have fun with that!!
I tried doing this on a 94 I parted awhile back and it did not work either.

your other option is buy the correct mirror and paint it with a rattle can, its a mirror, its not a body panel, you'll never notice the difference from the car to the mirror.

I'm really impressed with Duplicolors precanned stuff.... it matches pretty damn well...

yes it does, i use it all the time and their clear coat in the can is nice too for spray bombs. i used some deep jewel green on my 93 and its a dead match, their toreador red is too, and silver frost, all these i have used on door handles. perfect match.

I wish Tommy had a camera so he could post up some pics of the plate bracket... it came out nice on my end, and he says it matches very very well.

Any idea who has these Duplicolor paint in spray cans and do you need clearcoat for the black? Lincolns clearcoat I believe is mixed in with the Lincoln paint.

I bought the ones I used at Oreily's, and yes you want to get clear coat.

Here ya go... I used 30 second hold superglue to get it to stay in shape, then I used some plastic epoxy to give it strength. Used about half a tube, wanted to make sure it was good and glued.
