This would keep the mirrors clear when you go from outside into a warmer parking garage, which is a prime time for my mirrors to fog.

Replacing the mirrors costs about $350 per side if ordered through the dealer. So I bailed on the idea.

what about mirrors from a wrecked Z... seen a few of those

^I rarely see them parted out is the problem...

I definitely think smaller/differently mounted/less obtrusive mirrors would be an improvement. I'm not sure why, but they certainly seem to block vision in a way my other cars didn't.
