Need A New Mirror

Mirror got ripped off my other truck on a narrow road this morning. Since we both lost our mirrors and because of insurance deductibles we just decided to cover our own cost. I was able to find a replacement at Rock Auto for 87 bucks. Not too bad. I need to stay in the $100 range. I have a few questions for you all though. Will Rock Auto provide a decent mirror or should I go OEM? The OEM mirror will be about 80 dollars more. Should I use this as an opportunity to do a mirror upgrade? I even considered ordering a manual 2008 style mirror because I like the look of those. They are the same price. My mirror switch hasn't worked in a couple years so I'm used to manual mirrors anyway. I even looked into the west coast mirrors that you sometime see on the 650s. My wife thinks they're hideous but I kinda like me'. And finally, if anyone has a driver side tow mirror lying around let me know. Thanks!

I got one from A-M Auto and am very pleased with it. Just my .02

But there is a guy down the road from me that is parting out several F250's
I can try to find his number.

Here it is if you want to look.

rock auto would be fine. if you are getting a tow mirror, be aware that there are a couple of variations. Make sure that the plugs are the same (round/square) And the ones at the ford stealer sold where I live are the style that folds 180 degrees (90 front/90 back) when mine fold 90 degrees back
