Corvette Recycling=Good Vendor
Just wanted to commend CF vendor Corvette Recycling. I ordered a Torch Red passenger side mirror with memory for my 2004 Coupe. The mirror was rated 5 stars and therefor a little more costly then others but after receiving it I can see why. The mirror is like new without any imperfections and even included the mounting clips. It also arrived very quickly. It works like a new one. Thanks Corvette Recycling!
I bought it to replace mine because the motor mounting button broke when I was putting the glass mirror on. It is repaired with JB Weld but the memory would reset it sometimes. I could have just bought a new mirror motor and spliced the wires in but I don't like fooling with sodering or crimping and putting the mirror glass back on.
Anyway, If you need a passenger side mirror and you have a good motor in your old mirror I am selling my old one which is very nice. You could pop the mirror out and cut the wires to the motor and remove it then either solder or use crimp joints to rejoin the wires and use your motor and have a nice mirror but be aware that putting the mirror glass back on is tricky. Car is a 2004 and always garaged so the mirror housing look like new.

Update Ordered again from CorvetteRecycling and not such a good experience this time. I ordered a sill plate panel and got a call that there was a mistake on the web page shipping cost. The web site quoted $11 flat rate shipping. I got a call 2 days later that it was an error on the web site and the cost would be $43 for shipping instead of $11 which is more than the part costs. The lady asked if I wanted to cancel my order and I said yes. She also said they corrected the web site shipping cost. I have yet to get a credit on my credit card after 2 weeks and I checked their web site and the part still shows $11 shipping. So I guess it is hit or miss with this vendor. Today I emailed and left a voice message so we will have to see what happens.

Good to hear. Haven't used them yet, but I will keep them in mind when I need something for the car.
