I'm looking for a drivers side chrome remote sport mirror.
I've been looking at the reproduction ones and OEM.
Are the repro's coming from one source? Is there one better than others?
If there is thread on this already please re-direct me.
Thanks, Mark

@MoparDave  might know.  He sells a lot of them and might know if there are more than 1 place making them.

PG classics has some good stuff but they're shipping from Canada.

S & H to Texas could be quite a bit.

I only go thru them as a last resort.   :alan2cents:

There are a LOT of American vendors that carry PG Classic's products....Herb's parts comes to mind,

I thought PG shipped from Taiwan or something like that?

Classic Industries has them. Sale ends tonight though. CI shipping cost is crazy high and I am in the same State.

Thanks to each and every one of guys! That is the information I was needing.

When I read comments about the new mirrors, I've read issues with mirror movement on some.
Some of the sellers say they own their own tooling.
I'm guessing all the repo mirrors are trivalent chrome, and guessing the vintage OEM's are hexavalent chrome.
Unfortunately, the chrome appearance is different.
I'm reaching......Does anyone know if any of the mirrors are sourced (or plated) from either US, Malaysia or Taiwan? There might be a few more, but those are the only countries that I know of that still did hexavalent. Taiwan actually phased out last year.

Just wanted to add a quick thought.  There's a lot of places that sell these mirrors and I've done business with almost all of them at some point or another over the last 15 years.  I'll tell you this... When it comes to selling parts, great customer service and some of the best prices anywhere it's going to be very hard to beat @MoparDave  at Roseville.
