I would like to get one with the polished aluminum for the drivers side.

Default Google....

LLTek has the mirrors...I bought mine in the classifieds. The housings can be had from Clair, Achtuning, etc.. But drivers side only? Replacing one I hope..

Default You're recommending I replace both ? ..more..

Did you get yours from the AW classifieds ?
And you had to buy the polished housings seperately ?
I don't suppose you could just replace the mirrors and keep the current housings ?

I really didn't understand exactly what you were loooking for..

If you need the euro blind spot mirrors...LLTek has them.. I bought mine in the AW Classifieds..but they are far and few in between, but well worth it IMHO.

If you need the brushed alu housings You can try the other sources as well as ebay and the Classifieds..

You didn't mention if you have them already and want to add the euro glass, or you have stockers and want to add the glass and housings... Your post sounded like you were going to change just one...fine if the drivers side is damaged, but I meant don't change just one side to the alu if you have stock...

Did that make sense?

Default I have the same kind of split glass, but for the stock housing...

definately takes some getting used to.

I prefer the blue tint over the auto-dim (ready to get flamed)..but with due cause... When the three rear view mirrors go auto-dim, I can't tell who/what is behind me. I have always had a good knack at picking cars by their headlights...but sometimes I need more assurance.

I have, from to time, disabled the aut0-dim on the interior mirror as well.

Also, my euro mirrors don't have the black plastic trim around them...just clean blue glass; and no Objects in Mirror text on the passenger side...a much neater look..

They retain the heated feature.

They are a bit to get used to..the outer edge of the mirror is convex so the image bends like a fish-eye lense. The vertical line helps in orientation.

I can't say they are the best mod I have done, I would like them as much without the blindspot feature..just blue glass. Come to think of it..I have one passenger side euro mirror sans blind spot, in the picture above, buried in a draw someplace..

They definately fit the stock housings, BTW..
