All I know is that Titan mirrors will not fit, because I wanted to put them on, but they bolt on differently.

I was thinking about doing the same thing, I don't think it will work.
The way they bolt to the door is different, we have 3 studs in a triangle pattern, and the Titan has 4 studs in more of a square pattern.
The only way it MAY work, is to just swap the Titan's mirror head (the part that pivots) onto the Frontier's stock arm (the part that bolts to the truck).


EDIT:
Alright, here ya go.

Frontier Mirror


Standard Titan Mirror


Titan Big Tow Mirror


I suppose if you could get your hands on a Titan mirror you could try it out to see if the shape even contours to the Frontier's door, if it does, maybe you'll luck out and just be able to drill the mounting holes you need.

hmm.... no they dont. We have 3, Titan's have 4, and they arent even close. Remember, the top pic is the Frontier, the botton 2 and Titan.

Before you buy from the dealer, try this website:
http://www.mypartshop.com/

These were the results I got using Oregon as my location (you could narrow it down with your zip code) and searching for the Non-Memory Big Tow Mirrors:
http://www.mypartshop.com/EOL_PublicSearchResults.aspx

I got a mirror for my girlfriends Ranger from a local junkyard after a search on this site and saved $70 over the dealer. Yes, it is used, but the mirror I got was in absolutely perfect condition.

from the above posted manuals, i would say that a generous amount of trimming and fiberglass work will be involved and quite possibly modification of the bolts....

you can put any side mirror on your truck but the question is how much work are you willing to do? the titan and fronty do not look like a straight swap/bolt in....
