two different style aero mirrors?

I just noticed the other day that my car has two different aero mirrors on it. The driver side has a nice oval flowing shape to it, where as the passenger side is smaller and has a more rectangular shape to it. Idk if there were two different ones from factory or what but I guess I just never payed much attention.

That's kinda what I was figuring. I never knew the s4 has aero mirrors though. Were they on the 10th AE?

well if you can't tell the difference between AAS, ABS, DTSS, GXL, GTU, GTUs, VDI, AFM, and 6 pies, then maybe you're dyslectic?

I am freakin heavily dyslectic, half the time when I am trying to talk I mix up words and numbers (while not often, sometimes with each other).

That funny was video.

I just began to notice the same about my mirrors but never stopped to look at it closely enough to really pick up on it. I like the S4 shape much better.

Great, something else to buy...

I had a similar problem of not being able to tell the difference, until I bought the wrong ones. I bought S4's when I really wanted S5's, and now I'm stuck with them, trying to sell them and make up what I spent.
