Look on your driver's side top. Does it say M-1131 on the rear outside corner (should be some etching there)? If so it is definitely mirrored blue.

If it were me, I'd look on ebay (I got my passenger M-1131 on ebay for $400). Buy one on there and sell the bronze one after you get the blue one in.

I have noticed that driver's side M1131's are very tough to find, but passenger sides are quite a bit easier. So whatever you do, don't break your driver's side top.

I started crying when I broke my original one...
