Outside Mirror difference
So the driver's side mirror got damaged. I wasn't about to go to Lexus for a new one. I know they are expensive. Anyway, as I've done on other vehicles I have, I looked on fleabay and saw an original mirrior. Ordered it and got it painted. Body shop offered to install it cheaply and so they did. To my amazement, it is different. It is slightly larger. I actually like it being that my rear field of vision is more expansive. This being my mom's car, she isn't happy. The passenger side mirror, fortunately (LMAO) is slightly damaged, so we are debating on whether to get another OEM mirror from ebay, get it painted and installed.
I saw this thread; 2007 vs 2008 ES . I wish I saw this before I got the replacement mirror.
Passenger vs Driver mirror
Panoramic view. So, according to the above mentioned thread, Lexus changed the mirror from 2007 to 2008 ?? Anyway, if they reduced it, I honestly don't like it. I much prefer the larger one.

Yes, the larger mirror was only on the 2007 ES, in 08 they reduced their size. Reasons were visibility issues around the larger mirror and wind noise.

This ES was recently "kissed" at a parking lot and the 07 mirror was damaged. So, I let the insurance take care of it and the original mirror size (correct one for 08 model year) was installed.
So kids, do your homework before DIY, LOL.

To keep this thread updated. This ES was lightly "tapped" in a parking and so this incident was reported to the insurance co. They repaired everything and this mirror was replaced (it was damaged). So then, crazy experience. Thread over, LOL>
