What would be the easiest way to get a replacement glass? Buy one of the reproductions? Find a used one that was thrashed except the glass?

I might have the lucky box of parts in the shop...think I saw one of these mirrors in there last week.
PM me next week and I'll check for a right side.

Trace drivers, take to a glass shop.

I cracked my drivers stock mirror doing something dumb. Taped it back together and took to glass shop, had a bunch of choices (tint, concave, convex, etc). I chose the closest match to factory. I went to grab a bite to eat, they had it ready when I got back. Was cheap at the time, like $5, don't know how much it would be today...

all this time I figured I was the only one who had these on their car, but this is the second thread on them in a couple of weeks. Anyone else have them on their cars?

I found 2 Vitalonis and 1 teardrop shaped mirror.
Is the baby turbo made by Vitaloni ?

Yes, should be a small sticker on the other side of the mirror. Near the rubber boot.

Hi Curt - still running them on the red car. I would love to go back to original chrome - but they work on this car (as long as I tighten them up twice a year).
