Question Side Turn Signal Mirrors for 06 GS???

Anyone installed aftermarket or the JDM ones on the 06 GS yet If so please post some pics. I did this on the IS350 and really liked how it turned out. The mirrors are much smaller on the GS so I dont think it needs them as much but it adds a nice touch. I saw a few options but nothing wowed me just yet.

Thanks,

If I am not mistaking, I saw a couple in the LS forums, the last ls430 had the same mirrors and some had replaced their mirrors, check there...I have not seen this on the 3gs forum yet

Carson Lexus had a groupbuy I think a month ago or so, you can go check on their site or ask Luis what price you can get them for.

^^ Thanks I did send Luis a PM on Saturday for a list of items. I did this on the IS so it shouldnt be to hard just not sure I like them on the GS as much as I did on the IS. I may go a different direction with that.

I received my mirrors about a few weeks ago but would not be doing the install until the end of this month. I'll take pics of it if no one have pics by then.

Anymore info on this? Pics?

I was considering putting them on my 06' but figured the factory mirrors from a newer model GS would be at least 500 a pop...

I just ordered mine directly from the MFG about a week ago. I am just waiting on them to arrive them get them painted with some other parts for the car then I will install. I have another thread I started that will be the install thread once I get them. Its actually the outer shell that gets replaced and not the whole mirror. It wont look like the OEM for the newer ones if that is what you wanted. Its going to be sometime but I will have them done.

i think the lights are too thick.

the trend these days is a narrow strip of leds.

hopefully the aftermarket companies will make better looking ones. I'm sure it's not hard to make the cover look almost like the 08/09, as it's just a triangular light, and it wouldn't be copyright infringement either.
