    I have a 2009 TRD Offroad and smashed my driver's side mirror tonight. I'm not interested in doing the 4runner swap and associated wiring needed to make it operational in a 2009.

    My question is, has anyone found a GOOD aftermarket mirror? It seems most of the aftermarket ones on ebay all have the same complaint(s) vibration and mismatched texture to the OEM mirror.

    Thanks. Does it vibrate or have a distorted view? If the quality is there I could replace both of my mirrors for less than one OEM mirror.

    Have you used them?

    I don't have any problem finding replacements, there are a ton of options out there. I was hoping for some first hand experience with one of the aftermarket brands that could guide me. I'm not terribly concerned about the cost, if I have to spend $130 for OEM I will. I just don't want to if there is a similar quality aftermarket replacement.

    No vibration or distorted view at all. Very pleased with it. Housing is shaped slightly rounder than OEM but overall Im very pleased.
