Default just bought new towin mirrors but didnt do my research.

i was in a rush i was planing a trip to rausch creek and was towin my buddys jeep. and i decided to buy towin mirrors but got trigger happy and just bought a pair with out lookin into others. the name of them are cool-view, not the bug eye mirror but the top mirror shakes when i get over 30mph, to the point where i cant make out what kind of car is on my ***. It bugs the hell outa me. i have to return em and get a new pair by a different manufacturer. you guys who bought aftermarket, what kind of mirrors do you guys have and do you like them?

Go for the OEM ones, they are better than anything else out there, but also the most expensive. But the OEM ones have heated mirror, power adjustable, and signal light options. The Cool Vu ones also use 3M adhesive and don't bolt in place which sketches me out...

The cheapest place to get them is ebay, or else GM Parts Direct: Your direct source for Genuine GM Parts
