Default 92-96 Es300 M3 Style Mirrors?

Does anyone know where I can get M3 style mirrors for my 95 ES300? I'm not sure if anyone makes them, but I have seen them on a couple ES300's on the net. If nobody makes them, does anyone know of any model car that M3 mirrors will fit?

Just my opinion, the M3 mirrors have gotten a little overplayed because of their unique sporty design. I've seen people put them in Civics and G35s. Putting them in a nice luxury non-sport vehicle like the ES300 would look a bit off but that's just my perception. If you think they're cool enough to purchase and install, then go for it.

The M3 mirrors have a hole design near the square of the base which supposedly provides better aerodynamics for the car. Also some of the M3 mirrors sold on Ebay have LED turn signals embedded in them. Do a search on Ebay and you'll see what I mean.

Haha I saw a '07 Maxima in my complex with those things (everything else on car is stock). I ask, "What's the deal with them?"

Its not that I love the M3 mirrors, but one of the mirrors on my car has a piece chipped off, so I need to put a new mirror on it. I figured I'd put something a little different on it. I'd like the lights on the mirrors. I've seen caps that go on the mirrors of the newer ES300 that have the signal lights.
