Default cheapo ebay mirrors - which work best?

Hi all,

So my mirrors are pretty faded and scratched I'm looking to get them replaced and I'm trying to decidebetween these three. Has anyone bought any of these mirrors before? I really don't have a preference as far as looks I just need mirrors that work well and that I can actually see behind me with.

i havent used them but i do know (since i was looking into them) that they only use one of the mounting holes for the mirrors. And if you want a nice clean look you need to buy the mirror base plate also.... but for some reason i see them running for around thirty dollars which seems really high to me

Hey joe,

I am running the first ones, but in black not carbon. You can see behind you but you have to move your elbows alittle to see by them. I like them but some dont.

did you have modify them to fit on right? it was my understanding that the spacing for the bolts is different. if not what specific years? i was going to put on some f4/f4i mirrors like some other members have, they will fit after modification.

You have to be careful with some cheap mirrors because the reflective stuff isn't glass and it warps on the outside edge and can look funny. Any black plastic mirror looks ok as long at it has glass in. Just make sure you ask the question. Also if you replace one it'll look odd as the OE ones have thicker plastic around the edges, whereas the cheapo ones have a thin sliver and wont take much abuse. They look ok in pairs tho.

Down to personal preference i think.
