M3 Mirror with LED turn signal, take two

Beat a M3 the other day, decided to put on a set of E36 M3 style mirror as trophy. Always liked the double arm mirror design. I think BMW stole the design from Ferrari, I've seen quite a few Ferrari models with elegant double arm mirrors:

BMW E36 M3:

Infiniti G35, Supercharged:


What you guys think?
It's got LED turn signals, all power function works with OE controls.
It's got less wind resistance & super light, saved 4-5lbs weight,
the whole set weight about one of the OE mirror.

Close-up:

Got them on ebay & have it painted by Infiniti dealer.

There are many M3 style mirrors on ebay, all the same but with different base plate to fit different cars. There was one guy selling it for G so I jumped on it, but somehow he left ebay. I think these mirrors will show up again, obviously someone made the adaptors for G.

Does it hook up to your power mirrors for adjusting them?

I don't think it's heated, I don't think my OE mirror was heated either.
Took to a Nissan dealer for install, I don't know how he wired it,
but I asked him ti hook the LED to turn signal & he did.

Yes, all power up/down/left/right works & controlled by OEM control.

The OEM mirrors are hooked into the defroster and come on when you turn it on.

They look pretty good. I think I like the OEM style that has the added led's that you can purchase in the marketplace section.

to each his own, but IMO stock looked better.

They look like little bug ears, and they almost look like they want to flap themselves at me in a playful manner...

I also like the stock ones better. It's nice that they have LED's and are lighter but not my style.
