Has anyone found these anywhere besides Suncoast? I'd like to have options to make sure I'm getting the best price.

I advise driving a car with it before buying one.
My car came with it and after a month of so I could not stand it any more, bought a plain glass mirror and sold the darn thing.
Only one persons opinion, but scrap the idea. You probably won't like it. Some will talk safety, but in my opinion, distortion is not safety.

I had one on the driver's side of my GTI, tinted blue, and I loved it. Definitely helpful without the stick-on school bus mirror.

I swear I've seen them somewhere cheaper - like $30 each. I can't for the life of me find the link though and I can't find it through a Google search. It wasn't the Porsche part though for $30, it was an aftermarket part. For just $75 each I'd probably go with the Porsche part.
