Where to buy Replacement Side Rear View Mirrors?

I need replacement side rear view mirrors on the RX-4, the crappy ones from PepBoys aren't working so well. Anyone have any good sugestions for replacement mirrors?

I would check with venders over in Australia. I have found out the US don't carry jack for these old cars. You might get lucky finding a used one in the buy and sell or in the classifieds, ebay, etc. Good luck

How can you tell when the light turns green? I can't see them with those things.

These are the responses I was hoping for, thank you. An OEM mirror from another car is the way to go I think. Aftermarket mirrors are crap.

Wacky, What year/model BMW's?

d0 Luck, looking forward to that pic, thanks.
