Aftermarket side mirrors?
Looking to see what brand is best, keep trying to find one since my driver side mount broke so it flops around like crazy. Everybody is giving ridiculous prices like 40-50 bucks for one, figure a new set of rock auto is like 50-60. Just want to see if the aftermarket ones are worth it or if I should bite the bullet and get ones of marketplace or a junkyard.

If you’d be willing to that’d be awesome, don’t even really need the whole mirror just the bracket/mount cause the bar that extends to the door snapped from someone hitting my mirror.

Sounds like you may have the swing away mirrors... I have the later "sport" power mirrors.

Gotta picture?

I’m looking for the “sport” ones but I have the manual adjustment ones. Only reason I say that I need the mount only is cause I was tinkering with the old one and found that I can take the actual mirror and housing off from the bracket that it sits on.

Got em out of storage. You can have the pair for 40 bucks if you want them. They need some cleaning but otherwise they are good used OEM parts. Just let me know.
