is it an easy fix to add a mirror and replace my dented Side mirror.

I have an 07 es350. silver.. my passenger right side mirror got dented /heavily scratched recently. dealer said 1060. no kiddin. replacing entire unit

how about buying a mirror like the one attached someone is selling...for 200 bucks. but no glass

is it possible to put a glass and get this switched with my side mirror.. is this DIY or do I need to take it to some independant Lexus dealer.

Maybe try e-bay motors or local junkyard. Also - does the Camry share the same mirror?

I went on e-bay motors / thats where you got the picture. Adding a mirror - would have to be some type of safety glass versus regular household mirror / probably manufactured to exact size. I would still try local junk yard in the TX area for the whole thing.

Camry does NOT fit. Otherwise I'd put the ES350 one on mine since I like its design better lol

It should be a fairly straight forward mod. I think you have to take apart the door panel. Look for the DIYs in the ISx50 sections for LED turn signals. Should be the same general idea

i finally got a match.. silver. color for 314$

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...Q5fAccessories

now how do i replace it.. is it PLUG and play? I thought I had read some instructions can I doi it or do I need to take to dealer.. As I posted before the DEALER was asking me 1050. for replacing this unit... now that I bot it for 320$.. how much will I spend to swap it out with my dented one?

I would try a Lexus or Toyota dealer for installation. Maybe even a reputable body shop could do it. I'm sure the door panel would have to be removed. Personally, I would not try to do it myself.
