OK I kept on swapping back and forth the OEM housing and the LED and yup, I have fitment issue. The passenger side was okay, but the driver side did not fit. The cover hits the mounting bracket so I can't fold the mirror at all. The gap difference is way too noticeable.

I spent too much time and money painting this thing only for it to not fit. I'm removing the passenger side today. Not sure what I'm going to do with them.


Hopefully my case is isolated. Either they don't fit at all, or I did something wrong.

I haven't received mine yet either. Mine wasn't supposed to be painted though. Maybe NY was last on the list .

I PMed him on Saturday and I still haven't gotten a response. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt though because I know he's probably swamped with lots of PM.


I'm surprised no one else has installed theirs yet.

I was able to contact David. As far as he knows, all the unpainted ones has been sent out. For those who have not gotten yours, please contact him

He needs your order number so he can try to track down what's going on. puff & Infamous 1, since you sent me your order numbers, I will forward that to him. Still, you might want to continue to reach out to him to establish a direct conversation.

As for the painted covers, he said he is picking them up today and will try to get them sent out today or tomorrow.

Yea I figured he has family issues, which is why I'm giving him time. I don't mind the wait as long as everything gets sorted out. I really like the way they look!

Is this group buy still going on? I want to get painted ones for my 99 GS300. What about this fitment issue a member was having? Has this been fixed?

OK I was talking to FLIPMOE and his fitment looked similar to mine. Pictured below is his car, although mine looks the same basically.


Picture 1: where I circled is where there is interference. It's really right and I have no way of adjusting anything to make it clear.





Picture 2: The lines do not match up at all. It is way off relative to the passenger side and way worse than the OEM side mirror. It makes the mirror look like its slightly folded



Picture 3: This is the passenger side. I installed my passenger side first and it looked great so I expected the driver side to look just as good. I wish I had installed the driver side first so I would avoid wasting hours on diagnosing.




If anyone gotten theirs to fit perfectly, let me know how you guys did it because I literally have no room to adjust anything.
