Default rearview mirrors

I need new side mirrors for my car.
They're stained from bug guts that won't scrub off.
Whats a good place to get a pair cheap? eBay?
Are 2gA & 2gB mirrors the same?

Thanks guys.

You can always sand them down and repaint them? I've had the same issue here and there too but I've been using polish to remove the bug stains after each wash...but I've been doing for some time now so I don't have a build up of them either.

Mine are black to begin with, so even if I got black ones, it dont make any difference.

right, but thats a different kind of black, thats just the e-coat that comes from the factory... it wont match your black... even if the picture shows them being painted i doubt it actually will be

Right on.
I was gandering on eBay and saw em' solid black, and saw a TON of tacky "carbon fiber" ones.
Somehow I doubt they are really CF.

Yea.
They're dried up lovebugs, nothing can get them off.

For those who live outside southeast region, we here have whats called Lovebugs, a wonderful hybrid bug created by the brilliant minds at LSU.
Lovebugs are an attempt to neutralize the mosquito population. They have an acidic orange bulb on their stomach. When a mosquito is found, the lovebug pulls a taliban and suicide bombs the mosquito.
Unfortunately, the lovebug has no predators b/c of its acid bulb, so all they do is fly around and reproduce. The acid in them destroys paint on front bumpers and hoods.
When they impale your car, you have about a 24hr window to wash the off with suds and water
