    Look for an OEM one, it's always better to get it used, rather than aftermarket, if you're patient you'll find one in your color too, and won't have to get it painted -

    also if your are electric adjustable/heated, keep that in mind, it takes modifications for a manual adjustable mirror to be used if that's the case, it might (rather, probably) will be more expensive to use an electric adjustable/heated, but it's a pain in the ass to modify a manual to work

    Yea I wenyt from manual to electric off a gtz, the wiring was not terrible I made harness that plugs into the wires down by the kick panel and goes to the stock mirror controls its all run through another button I have that alkso turns on my gauges so people looking in I.e. Cops won't see the bright ass guages.

    If you need help I like making harnesses. I make two one for my mirrors and one long one when I added the infinity amp.

    Most likely they aren't heated.

    I once almost broke someones side mirror, I was pissed that they parked like shit.

    Has anyone just replaced the mirror on the passenger side and not the whole assembly? My passenger side mirror assembly is intact but the mirror portion is all broken to pieces. Was wondering if it was possible to just pull it off and glue the mirror on there. I think I've seen some posts on ebay for just the mirror itself with no assembly.

    I had the same issue just a while ago, but while taking the mirror out, you're supposed to just be able to pry it out of the assembly, and I have pry tools too, but whatever I tried, just ended up breaking the mirror completely and not coming out. But I will try tonight and see if I can see what's holding it back, as I still have my old assembly.

    I bought the whole assembly with a good mirror on here for $20, and another $100 for painting, was still a decent deal.

    I got a brand new mirror from TYC for like 40 bucks. Works fine for me. Stock, I have the power adjustment + heated mirrors, and the wiring on the TYC mirror matched just fine.
