Do you mean just the glass? If so, this is what I bought and was very happy with.

The aftermarket ones all shake and are bad. Best bet is a salvage yard set. Thats where I scored my pair.

You can also still order acdelco replacements. I did it for both of my truck's mirrors. Fit just fine, absolutely zero shake. The passenger side mirror is a little more difficult to find because they're usually on backorder but you can still buy them both new

If you can get OEM it's absolutely the best way to go. I haven't seen an aftermarket copy of the factory black plastic folding mirror that didn't shake, or eventually get floppy at the fold joint so that it moves back and forth when you brake/accelerate.

Look for the GM part number. Check to see that it matches what you already have and/or doesn't look like a cheap replacement.
Where is it stamped? I don't have my originals anymore to look.

One pretty obvious giveaway I've noticed, mind you it might not be 100% - GM mirrors have torx screws where the mirror head attaches to the base, right there underneath where you can see without any disassembly. Every single aftermarket mirror I've seen has regular philips head screws.
Give the mirror head a gentle shove forward and backward. Not enough to fold it, but to see if it "flops" ...
