will this mirror work?
hey guys,
I got a black 2000 v6 coup, everything stock. the guy I bought it from a few weeks ago broke the casing of the drivers side mirror, apparently he drove a bit too close to a ticket machine at a parking garage, and also bent about 3" along the edge of the fender (where it meets the door). I'm told I need to replace it for inspection, and rather than pay someone to do it for $150, I want to do it myself (GULP). at least I wont have to paint them! Looking on ebay, I found a couple options:
mirror 1
$44 - this one is an OEM model, and looks exactly like my current ones. the auction is for only the left mirror
mirror 2
$34 - this one looks a bit nicer with the glossy finish, and the cut-through on the neck, also the auction includes mirrors for both sides. however, my current mirrors do not have blinker LEDs. are these mirrors compatible with my car?
mirror 3
$32 - both sides, similar to the one above (is it actually the same? hard to tell), and I have the same concern about LED compatibility
I'm leading toward the latter two, as they include mirrors for both sides, with LEDs, that look nicer than the stock OEM style, not to mention all that for ~$10 cheaper; but I need some advice.
1. am I able to use the mirrors with LEDs?
2. do you think the last two listings are the same mirror? they're from different sellers.
3. anybody have experience with these style mirrors? how do they look/holdup?
thanks for any help![/align]
