Mirror
My rear view mirror is all messed up and I'm wondering if any other Lexus rear view mirror will work or do I have to specifically get the GS mirror.

I've taken mine apart to do a V1 radar mod and the black dots can be fixed! Take your mirror apart, and you will find a black decal that was layed down. The dots that you re seeing are air bubbles that never got release. You can 1. buy a new mirror and prob have the same issue. 2. buy black vinyl sticker and lay down as if you were tinting a car with a bit of soap/water and push the air bubbles out. 3. deal with it. 
side note: the decal on the mirror is a bit difficult to peal.. be really careful not to put to much pressure around other areas or else you will crack the mirror.

I promise I will share
Yea these mirrors are the way to go. Loved and miss mine from my GS!! I sent out the actual OEM mirror and had this done. Need to have this done on my S in the spring.
Another good option is the mirror that escort has to offer with navi (if your gs doesnt have) and I think radar but I could be wrong on that part.

I've heard of a LOT of people having the same mirror problem. The silver in the glass makes it look dirty almost like there is adhesive stuck on it. Luckily I had my CPO warranty cover it after my service guy fought with warranty department about safety issue.
I would go with an aftermarket cause the OEM mirrors are EXPENSIVE ($1k+), and might have the same problem over time.
