Alternative mirrors

I keep looking at the side mirrors.
Has anyone gone with a different mirror?
Can I see pictures?
I have one that fell off because the bottom rusted off!
Options or recommendations?

My drivers side needs a bit of attention.
I'm going to shop around at the local trucker chrome shops and see what I can find to replace it.

I'm using heated, stainless steel 16 inch west coast mirrors made for class 8 trucks.

I'm stacking two or three high on each side to make up for the space gained with the 23 inch roof raise.

Sorry no pics, but I've got mirrors from a 2004 Mack, 1 piece black plastic bubble style [no bull dogs], heated, CB antennas already on them. Chose them 'cause the cab was flat like the side of the bus. Had 12 or so different styles to choose from in the tractor scrap yard. Just waiting for a ‘12 Volvo to enter the scrap pile for the black plastic hood mirrors. Don’t have to paint the plastic and they’re a lot cleaner looking than the school bus mirrors…my $.2
