Mazdaspeed Mirrors?

Anyone know where I can get actual MS sideview mirrors (non replicas)?

Vivid Racing has them -- they look great if you have the MS kit.

They are for right hand drive cars and you lose the heating function...

How are RHD mirrors different than LHD? The stock ones on my '8 look like mirror images of one another, thus it wouldn't matter what side you are driving on, they'd be equivalent...

I thought the mirror opposite the driver was always convex (hence the "objects in mirror may be closer than they appear" only being on the passenger side of the vehicle). ??

I just saw the ones at vividracing.com, should work better than Japanese spec mirrors. Forgot about the right/left thing with right hand drive models.

Personally, I am not the biggest fan of the Mazdaspeed front air dam look, but I can see why many like it. I have the appearance package which I have seen with the MS style mirrors which looks killer in my opinion.

Anyone ever order the Ganador mirrors painted? Just curious how they fit and how well the paint matched (I have a Titanium Gray RX)..

I don't remember that being on my '8 or in the manual. I could be wrong, though.

MazdaSpeed mirrors are - as they have a closer to the car body, and smaller mirrors

I was wrong. I just managed to overlook it for the past 8 months or so...
