Have you checked junkyards? When I was looking for a replacement for my '95
(opt. chrome folding power mirrors) I was quoted ~$30 each for guaranteed
good mirrors.

Subject: DML: Swaybars and Mirrors

My 6x9 mirrors are toast. The driver's side comes in slowly when you shut
the
door and part of the front of the mirror is broken off, and the passenger
side
does the fun self-fold-on-the-freeway-so-you-can't-change-lanes trick. I
solved this temporarily with some screws but it's ugglyyyyy. Even the full
manual mirrors are over 60 bucks each to replace in the 6x9 size, and a
hundred
for power. Anyone think I'd be just as happy with the non-folding 5x7
mirrors?

I'm also thinking of picking up one of the Addco rear swaybars, but I'm
wondering how much the tail will step out with the stock .95" front bar. I
could replace the front bushings and stiffen it up up front to counter the
rear
bar a bit. I just don't want the rear swinging around like a pendulum
around
corners unless I give it enough gas to break the tires loose. ;)

Thanks,

MattB
