They're slightly cheaper from Camping World:

And the mirror face is larger to boot. These are what we bought from
Ed. They work quite well. As for the paint, I've never noticed a
single mark from them, but I'm not the kind of person who's out there
waxing my truck with a diaper every weekend either. If you're OCD about
your paint, it might be a concern. If you run it through the automatic
car wash once a month or so like I do, then you'll be fine.
We upgraded the 5x7 mirrors on our truck to the 6x9s, but ours were the
power 5x7 mirrors to start with. I can tell you that the 6x9 mirrors
are pretty much useless for seeing any traffic around our trailer. I'm
not sure exactly how wide ours is, the spec sheet just says 8 feet. I
use the truck mirrors for looking at the trailer itself when parking, or
point them at the blind spots on the highway, and use the add-on mirrors
for watching traffic behind us.
