Why not just get it from NVD for the price then?

At least his mirrors has been confirmed by the forum members.

Check for the vendor classified's for NVD's replica mirrors.

He also sells on eBay as well.

A number of members have bought from him, and the quality has been confirmed to be pretty top notch.

I can personally report back next week when I should be receiving mine

From what I've read in the past he has been pretty good to go as far as customer service and quality of product. Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time trying to NOT bash him right now cuz I made payment for my mirrors nearly 1 month ago. Apparently he's is out of stock of the heating pads for the mirrors and has been waiting for them to come in. Just a little frustrated that it's taken this long. TheRacerBoss also has had some fitment issues regarding the actual mirror lining up in the housing (or something of that sort). Im really hoping that it's a smooth install for me or else I'll be leaving negative feedback.

I wasn't thinking of buying these ebay ones, just wondering if anyone had used them before and how they compared to NVD. Still waiting to find some good oem ones for a good price.

Don't think these ebay mirrors have auto fold feature like the oem ones do, I'd do some research on that if that is an issue for you. Manual fold was the only option on these mirrors, that is what deterred me from purchasing these in the past.

I wish they would come out with some for the LCI. For now, this mod is out of reach for me.

I got my M5 mirrors from NVD a few weeks ago (not installing until spring with the rest of the kit). His service was GREAT in taking my order and shipping the product to me within days. I got the primed with black bottom. He offers it with CF bottoms as well. It does not have the auto fold feature which was a killer for me but for the price and look.......it's whatever now.

My son won't allow me to take pics with out him racing back to play with the mirrors lol. So forgive the pics
