What type of review mirrors to replace broken ones with
Well, yesterday, I went out to my car and I noticed my drivers side mirror was hanging by a wire 
. All the screw mounts that hold it onto the car are snapped, and for some reason, all the mounts that hold the mirror and motor into the encloshure are all snapped too. Long story short, I am left with replacing it, and there are a few options:
buy a replacement aero type mirror $279
Buy a used one, about $50
Or something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEBWA%3AIT
I think they look a little wierd though, although a little more aerodynamic looking. Which produce the least drag?
So... what's your opinion? What do you think is the best mirror? btw, this is a 1991 n/a ...later
edit: And none of that includes cost of paint. The whole car needs a new paintjob, so it will look pretty ghetto with different colored mirrors for a while....
