Default Instead of the CLK mirrors....

How about these? Would it be possible to do a swap from a SC430, to the GS? Anyone with photoshop skills, feel free to do this for me, and send to me in PM. Maybe a next project if it'll work...

Any idea what it would take?

Thanks,
John

Any particular reason why? You like the shape of the SC ones better? You like the chrome trim on it?

Actually it's both Neo. lol. You got the nail right on the head. I know people like the look of the CLK with the light, i love the shape of 430 with the chrome strip. The light seems useless to me, although it looks BOMB! I would love this mod.

Nah, the chrome strip should be left where they are, right on the door sills and the door panels. Chrome on sideview mirrors are just plain odd, especially on big boxy mirrors like ours. I still prefer straight-up blinkers conversion...

Default clk...

i think i like the clk turnsignals on the side mirrors better... the SC 430 side mirrors are too slim and pointy for the GS IMO... if we're talking about the chrome strip... i think it would be an ok look... but why do a chrome strip when there could be a turn signal

btw... what rims are those on the SC430... me likey...

I still like it either way. And if it's possible, i will do it. I don't mind the Neg. comments, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just like the suicide doors. Most people hated it on here till someone did it, then it was a half and half on it. I would like ot see the mirrors photoshopped onto the GS tho. If anyone knows if this is possible let me know. Should i ask a bodyshop if this can be done?

have any tried using the tsx turn signal instead of the clk one? maybe the tsx route is more affordable.
