Default Blue tinted convex side mirrors

Does anyone make these for the 1st gen IS? I have them on my S2000 and LOVE them. Wished I can get them for the IS300.

Yes, they cover more area (rids of a lot of blind spots) AND stops a lot of glare caused by PNP hid kits that everyone is running around town with now.

Well the 1st Gen already has auto dimming mirrors, they might not be as effective as the ones on your S2000, but it's there.

The Euro/JDM mirrors have a convex edge on them also. Here is a pic of mine:

Really?? I just picked up an 01 and haven't driven it at night yet. But I noticed my inside rearview isn't auto dimming so I doubt my sides dims.

i saw this thread hoping for answers. but it seems like there isn't a source.

to the OP or anyone looking for the convex mirrors - DO NOT buy the following:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEXUS-IS200-...item4cfe6175d6

You will get convex mirrors, but they are no more convex than the USDM passenger side. to the OP, it is likely not as good as the blue tinted ones you have in terms of being convex.

To the OP, i have the "levelsport" mirrors on my RSX - i believe the same company made it for the prelude and s2000. And I too love them - but it does not appear there are options out there to get it done.

Not sure if anybody is watching this thread still... but if anybody is, email Derek at sales@rexpeed.net

I actually posted in this thread wrongly, I have an IS250 and was looking for mirrors for that. I knew rexpeed made mirrors for the FR-S (I use to have an FR-S) so I emailed them and they said they could custom make the blue tinted convex mirros for my IS250 but it would take about 2-3 weeks. I figure if any of you want some for the IS300, it's worth a shot to email Derek and see what they can do for you.

I paid $95 for heated convex mirrors, but they're still being made currently.
