Make sure you get mirrors for the sedan/compact. Coupe/convertible mirrors will not fit.

There is another option that I've found not too long ago. Its either from an E46 M3 or an E39 M5 style I believe. Only seen it once or twice on a ti and wasn't bad IMO but other members might think otherwise. A little more, $169.99. It's foldable as well.
Here are some pictures.

carbon fiber F1 style:

the F1 style might be a little too F&F but the AC Schnitzer style look really nice I think

The first link of cf mirrors are pretty cool, i can see them on my ti. I think i'd have to see those F1's on a car to get off the fence...

Thanks guys. the DDM mirrors are kinda what I was looking for. I actually like the "tucked" style that the CF ebay ones have but not looking to pay that much.
Just trying to recover from Christmas spending and the initial shock of moving into our new house and then get me some better mirrors.
