Wow, for 60$ I can't expect that's OEM at all, they're normally 140..

a lot of those ebay ads say like OEM or OEM but in fact they arent and i bet all of them are knock offs.
i would just order from a reputable company where you know your gettings OEM parts

Somebody took out my mirror about 2 months ago so i just bought the ebay knock off one. Fits, looks, and works just like OEM and the cover comes painted standard in gloss black but no factory colors. Id say get it if your just needing a replacement but youll need to paint the cover to match your car unless you dont mind a gloss black cover

oh yea one thing though. If you dont have leds swaped in your turn signal indicators then youll be alright with this mirror. The turn signal indicator has different internals but cant tell the difference when put together. If your planning on doing a led swap on them then your gonna need the internals to the old led indicator to swap over to the new led indicator to perform the led swap

its most likely an OEM aftermarket part. non factory, for those that are confused. i wouldn't call it a knock-off. it's what body shops use to save money on parts.
