I don't think something like that exists. Afaik, all the aftermarket ones loose the electric adjustability.

Spoon, APR, Craftsquare ect all kill the electric capabilities and I believe those are the only mirrors made specifically for the s2k if I remember right.

damn was really hoping there was something out there that wouldn't kill that feature. i love how the other brands look like but enjoy having electric mirrors. i already lost the option of cruise control because of my quick release didn't want to lose another luxury i guess you can say

Lots of the aftermarket mirrors look great but 1) reduce visibility and 2) shake like hell. The stock mirror is mounted on a thick pedestal, the aftermarket ones are mounted on a stick, which do think shakes more?

While the look is unchanged you might like this mod;

How exactly do those work?
Do you just remove the mirror itself and reglue this one onto the base?

I have the Moddiction ones and they just stuck over the old glass, been on over a year. You can do it either way.

The Moddiction ones are good if you want to keep the power function. I would recommend removing the OE glass and swapping out the mirror housing. There is a DIY I made somewhere in my build thread. Nice cheaper upgrade

If having electric mirrors is that important to you (don't you just set them and forget them... unless other people drive your car), just stay OEM. The OEM mirrors flow better with the car than any aftermarket mirror anyway.
