I believe mine are M3 style....and I love them. The bases are painted black and the mirror is painted Panther Pink to match the car.

imo... if u want your car to look better do some suspension work, it changes the look considerably,, i should have most of my suspension work done today, i just need a new alex and hub and bearings assembly's for the front..

I like the stock ones, but I also like the ones ZeroChad posted. But only because of the turn signal. If I wasn't planning on getting rid of mine I would be tempted to get a set.

Stock.

After riding in someones car that had them the M3 mirrors looked too small for seeing cars that are each side of you. At least for me they looked small, others may not have a issue.

The ebay mirrors suck, because the actual mirror is like a reflected glass, dosn't look good at all, thats my opinion.

That's kind of how mirrors work. :roll:

Damn, and here I was thinking there wasn't a way to chince on mirrors. It's like chincing on water, but I've seen that happen, too.

That's totally how mirrors work isn't it? A piece of glass with reflective stuff stuck on the back?

I say stock unless every single other piece of your car is done already. mirrors are one of the last things i think that should be touched if they have to be IMO.
