Question Possible Nigel-JDM Parts GB? OEM Aristo Wide Panel Side View Mirror w/ blue tint

Hello All,

I spoke with one of our vendors here and would like to check if anybody else would be interested for a possible group buy.

It is a mirror (glass) OEM replacement from our existing side view mirrors. I like how it is angled so it enables better visibility in our blind spot.

I've done some researching here and have found that upStateGS4 has done this mod sometime earlier this year.

Please see thread:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...or-lens-3.html

here are some pictures I have found here on CL.








Please poll accurately! Thank you!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the wrong side be magnified for a LHD vehicle?

Great question!~ I've PM upstateGS4 and check with his input. I am sure he has a USDM 2GS.

Like auto dimming? Not sure if the USDM 2GS ever had Auto dimming for the side mirrors...

They are tinted in blue and support Heated Mirrors.

So i checked a few websites and it looks like these mirror support Heated Mirrors.

Can anyone confirm if our mirrors are heated? My car is always garaged and it is hard for me to confirm.

Also, i checked my car and it does not seem like it has Auto Dimming for the side mirrors. I have a 2003 GS300 Sport Design

Information i have found on the internet....
Fits LEXUS GS 300/400/430 JZS160.161 ( 1998-2005 )
NOTES
-REPLACEMENT TYPE
-SIDE CLEARLANCE IS MUCH WIDER THAN NORMAL MIRROR PANEL. (QUATER PART ON EACH SIDE PANNEL HAS WIDER ANGLE)
-REDUCING THE HIGH BEAM FROM THE REAR VEHICLE BEHIND
-ONE PIN ON THE BACK LENSE PANEL TO CONNECT HARNESS (ONLY ONE PIN EACH SIDE) FOR HEATED MIRROR USE (SEE PIC)

as for me, i see more of a purpose then aesthetics. I think this mirror should provide me with better coverage of the blind spots.

Plus, my Sport Design already comes with blue tinted from factory.
