Exclamation Side Mirror HELP!

I have a 1999 lexus gs300 and someone broke my driver side mirror, but the replacements are about $300-$400, i found an aftermarket pair of side mirrors for for a 2006 lexus gs300. I wanted to know if it would fit and work on my 99 gs300. Or if anyone knew where i could get any other mirrors that would work perfect with my 99 gs300..thanks!

Ebay or junkyards would be your best bet...Also, if it's just the mirror, go with the JDM version:

I don't think the 3rd gen. mirrors would work.

You can get mirror shells with LED blinkers and puddle lights in them for somewhere around $200 I believe from Nigel, one of our vendors; then you'd just have to get glass cut or find the glass somewhere if yours is shattered.

This was the original thread when he started selling them, PM him for current pricing if you're interested, I think the price has come down since this thread. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...irror-wot.html

You should still come out cheaper and you get a nice upgrade at the same time. I've always figured if it's broke, upgrade or mod it while you're spending the money to fix it anyway.

I agreed with Kyle. I have the Nigel side mirrors and love them, plus you can get them painted to match from him. This all works great if your OEM motors were not damage from the incident. Then you would still have to get the whole assembly.

3rd Gen will not work, mounts and shapes looks different.
