Default Aftermarket tow mirrors

I took out my passenger mirror on a temp construction sign doing 50mph Dented the door and scratched my window. Gonna get the door fixed for really cheap (highly recommend building a freindship with a good with a body shop!). No problem. But the mirror is the REAL problem now. Looked em up and with a 499 MSRP I about So I need an opinion and some experience with these aftermarket tow mirrors they are selling for 200 bucks (Mines heated and electric). Are these mirrors really cheaply made, or are they worth the price difference? The body shop is leaving me to find the mirror for a reasonable price, but said I might want to "bite the bullet" on buying a used OEM mirror if possible. Any suggestions???? Thanks

I think this guy should do the trick. I'm happy with my mirrors from 1AAuto.

So does it match up really good with the factory ones ie. texture, operation, stability when driving down the highway?? Any downs to it? If not, I'll just buy them in a pair for 130 bucks ea

As I got a pair, I can't compare to factory. All I know is mine are working really well. The held up to a Canadian winter, so they can't be too bad!!

Theres a couple i found saying theyre 6x9" glass. Mine is 7x10". So I'm kind of weary about that

Gonna keep looking for a used Mopar mirror for now. I saw a review saying that when you go to fold it in, it doesnt want to fold back out. Still very skeptical.
