$180 made in Taiwan. You be the judge, man. Obviously the fit won't be 100% then you'll have to paint or wrap. Isn't the glass alone like $400 for heated and auto dimming for basic mirror housings?

Might just buy and see for 180 I'll take a risk. I don't really care for heated or auto dimming to be honest hopefully they just fit properly.

You realize that these mirrors also do NOT have the motors that adjust the glass?

Most of these type aftermarket mirrors required that you remove your motors/wiring from OEM mirrors & install to retain the power adjustment of the glass

These say nothing about whether that is possible, but they definitely do state 'Without Motors'

I have heated Parking everywhere I go so that's not the issue I sent the seller an email asking wether the motor would work if I swapped everything over as long as that works and mirrors fold I have no issue with spending the money. Worse case Ontario I can simply switch back to my stock mirrors for the winter if I have too.

Edit: Just received reply from seller yes full mirror function with folding if you switch motor put just no heated and dimming. I'll sacrifice a bit for style. If I ever find a good pair of M3 mirrors in Canada for sale tho I will for sure swap them out.

Yeah but heated mirrors aren't just for melting ice from a parked car though. There are all sorts of situations while driving when they will come in handy. Clearly you can do whatever you want, I just would advise against it.

Ya got them just haven't had time to get them painted or installed. Mirrors came with glass and two new motors. Shape for mirrors looks spot on but until I test fit them to car won't know. Hopefully will have time this week to put them on.
