yeah, so i walk out to my car from my girlfriend's house and both my side view mirrors are dangling from the mounts by the wires. I wont get into details on why it happened, I don't even really know. I hope i find out who did it soon, so proper action can be taken place. I know they know me and my car(my car is VERY well known to be mine around here). they must know how much i loved it. B/c if it was just some kids who where gunna f*** up a car, they would have done a lot more.
basically baseball bat(or other rod of sorts) to both mirrors. pass. side mount is completely snapped off. drivers side isn't too bad.
now, i can get them both for around 60 bucks. but do i have any universal options? i was thinking i would turn lemons into lemonade and get some nice CF ones(i plan on getting a hood eventually)
anyways, throw out some opinions, and also options. if you have any for sale (any color) PM me a price estimate.

get some M3 style mirrors with the LED turn signals in them.
BTW... my buddy just got a huge DuPont contract - he mixes all of his own paint and everything at his shop, and his computers can match any color and spit out the code/color mixture combination. The shop address is 69 New Shackle... stop by and tell him Brandon with the Tiburon sent you. His name is Eric.
Or you could just grab some from a junk yard and have them painted when your car is painted.
sucks to have that happen though.. better your mirrors than your front bumper after all that work
Veilside has some mirrors they sell, but they're small and really limit your view (aerodynamic = smaller = not functional)

I saw some on e-bay that I would buy if I ever needed new mirrors. They have the LEDs in them and everything.

I have seen the M3 mirrors on a white 00 tib down here just the other week actually. It looked decent but I think all mirrors look like crap really. Think about function to cause these M3 mirrors are much smaller as are most universal mirrors. Are stock mirrors are already small enough so I would be hesitant to downsize more and see less. A mirror with the blinker on it makes for a nice additional turn signal though so there is function in that. If we could get our stocks with the blinker in them I would.
