So, I installed the glass wings from Backdraft last night. The holes were a little off. The brackets on mine are 7 7/8" appart, and the holes in the glass wings are more like 8". I loosened everything up and got them in. I'm a little worried that there's some undue tension on the holes on the bottom driver's side, so I may go back and widen the mounting bracket holes. I did used plastic washers (made from cutting the tops off cheap drywall anchors) between the glass and all metal. No test drive yet, so I can't say if the transplant was successful. They sure do look nice though! One other note: I have the billet side-view mirrors from Breeze Automotive, so my bracket configuration is different from most but the mounting holes in the glass did line up with them.

Update: Drilled out the mounting bracket wing attachment holes a little, and everything went together much easier. All good after test drive.
