Default Lastnight's mods : Jdm led mirrors and trd badgeless grill

So last night I picked up some toys after work and installed them myself.

JDM STYLE LED MIRRORS with turn signals

BADGELESS F-SPORT STYLE GRILL with TRD Emblem

I was lazy and it was getting late so i didn't plug in the mirror yet. purely just for show for now.

I was following this GREAT DIY thread but the wiring picture at the end are 404 ... anybody know where I can get the rest of the DIY?

Anyway ... what do you guys think?

Im digging the mirror ALLOT .... kind of miss my Lexus Emblem in the front but I can switch back and forth pretty easy and I think the badge-less look is growing on me.

Bumper is schedules to get sprayed at the body shop this Monday!

I got those same mirrors I love em, you can opt for white led turn or yellow. And also option to leave on when head lights come on white led which I don't like., I like em to come on only when turning..

Im really digging them more in person .... I wasn't sure I would like them ... was gonna cop the OEM 2009+ USDM ones and try to retro fit them ... but I am happy I didn't ,,, these are pretty much plug and play and I hear the 09+ have smaller mirrors ... and I honestly can barely notice the signal light on the OEMs I see in the street.

Definitely want them synced with the headlights .... we will see how this wiring goes ....

mirrors look great...different than the common ones most had including myself. The grille is nice also although TRD doesn't really make anything for this car. I had a carbon fiber TRD badge in my engine too just cause I liked it.

Lol.... I have a red TRD oil cap on my engine right now ... I am just proud that the car is powered by Toyota .... thinking about painting the engine cover red as well to match

Mirror looks great! Do want! What you mean plug and play? Don't you have to do custom wiring? Not feeling grille tho.

Yeah, there is a little custom wiring but it isn't that hard.

Not Plug-in play but what I really mean is it is guaranteed to work and fit on the 2006 .... after searching the forms I couldn't find anybody who had successfully put 2009+ mirrors on the 2006
