I don't blame him one bit for trying to get some questions answered by the vendor.

I actually viewed that thread in the vendor classifieds first before stumbling on this one at it does seem kind of fishy. I may be wrong though.

Yeah I don't blame him for suspecting something is fishy. Its just that the vendor has been around for over a year and from what I know, none of the members have complained. I'm sure the mods would have banned him if he was scamming people a year ago. I guess I'm just thinking along the lines of innocent until proven guilty since he is a site vendor.

Back to the topic at hand, this vendor is shady: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...ml#post5494652. I don't think he's actually posted a picture of his actual product. Something's really off about the whole situation.
I made a purchase with him for the 09+ oem signal mirror covers couple days ago. He did confirm it will fit the 06-08 IS models. I will definitely be posting pictures after it arrives and installed.

Great! I may be stopping by a place today to check out the product in person as well. I'll report back as well.

I doubt those will look good, the 06-08 mirror is too big to pull off the 09+ signal.

That's why I'm leaning more towards Nigel's. The large clear part for the turn signal works well with the tall mirror.
