I saw someone on another forum do this and I liked the way it turned out, so I got myself a set of 2010 side mirrors and installed them today.
You do have to make some modes to the mirrors and to the car.
I also want to thank DG Custom Auto for the installation.
1. Remove the inside cover by pulling on it. Disconnect the electrical connections and unbolt mirror.
2. Here you can see the 2010 mirror won't line up with the current holes. So you have to make some modes for it to fit. So mark where you need to drill. Two of the holes will only need to make bigger.
3. Here it shows the size holes you'll need to make. The two holes on the right you just have to make bigger (7/16th) and the hole on the left you need to make and it needs to be 3/8 hole.This is the only mods to the car that you need to make. Don't be scared to drill, you'll be able to cover up your mistake(s). LOL
4. On the 2010 mirror you need to cut off the two black tabs on it. They won't line up with any holes and you won't need them at all.
There is also a black tab that holds the connector straight, cut it off too.
Tabs are gone here.
Tab to hold connector is gone.
Once this is done, you should be ready to bolt the mirror on and connect the electrical connections, then install the cover. We also found out that the cover for the 2010 will also fit the 2005+ mustang. We used our 2005+ covers.
5. This picture shows the stock mirror on the right looking at the car and the 2010 mirror on the left side.
6. The installation is the same for both mirrors. The job only took about 30 minutes.
