RPI exhaust!! Theres really nothing better than HEARING your engine finally breathing well and the pleasure of announcing your arrival in that way!

Member 520dA can get me lhd mirrors with glass for about $1100 shipped but primed. Painting and install would be another few hundred.

hmmm....shit I think I might take a lesson from my mother when it comes to shopping, if i cant decide between the two; get both.

I bought my M5 mirrors from 530dA, and it was a smooth transaction. I got them painted with some other parts ($175), installed ($100), and they make such a huge difference. Just my $0.02!

My only regret: I should have got the CF covers for the bottom of the mirrors before having them installed!

Sounds like you're leaning towards the mirrors. I would get the exhaust. When you're driving, you can't see the front of the mirrors. You see the mirror. With the exhaust, you hear it constantly. You also get more attention too.
