Busted sideview mirror...



d'oh! happened 2 nights ago. Cheapest replacement I found for the glass alone is $240. Anyone know where I could possibly get one cheaper?

And for the mirror itself I was thinking of painting them black, but then I found these. I think they'll go well with the black grill and roof and my CF spoiler:

Actually, I somehow stumbled on to an auction on ebay (searched thru google, but searching on ebay it self it won't come up). It's an aspherical mirror though, will that work on my non aspherical housing now? I'd obviously have to get a matching glass for the left side, but it's only $80 each (used).

Thats nasty, I ordered a set of those CF covers. The set I have now the CF is seperating from the chrome cover that they wrapped. I also like how it will cover the whole mirror housing.
