These are part numbers off of the 2014 GS, but you make a good point, I will see if the part numbers match up with the IS.


Rub it in why don't 'cha

 

I recommend talking to the team at Sewell Parts, they should be able to help your quest!

 

ES has it

 

Rub it in...rub it in... ;-)

 

Forget Lexus, today after leaving the gym I saw a brand new Kia with folding mirrors!

This is really sad Lexus.

 

Perhaps, Morpheus had a point?

 

It is not sad anymore...Lexus responded and added them back for the 2014.

As a 2013 owner, I wish it had the folding mirrors, but I bought the car knowing full well that it didn't. So I really don't have any room to complain.

Just my thoughts...

 

The sad thing is power fold mirrors and power trunk were standard equipment in the '08 GS I owned with a $50K sticker but not a '13 with a $60K sticker.
And both are still options on the '14..

 

I don't disagree. I believe my 07 even had power folding mirrors.

Would be cool if there was a cheap way to upgrade it.

My only point was we all signed on the dotted line knowing what we were getting.

 

True,we all knew going in.
Still a great car.

 

True, I love it.

We could have a Kia with power folding mirrors that we take to the shop every couple thousand via a tow truck.

 

Lol thanks for your thoughts all, I freaking love the GS too! I got jupped as I test drove several 2014's thinking they were the same and then made an offer on a used F-Sport out of state But whose fault is that...MINE!

Unfortunately it might take a bit more research than I anticipated, and I might need to get Lexus involved as the Sewell rep I heard back from mentioned that their maybe a new harness required, and that the fuse box might have to be wired for the folding mirrors. I will look through the manual and the fuse boxes, hopefully it shares the same fuse as the heated, blind spot monitoring, puddle lights, or turn signal!

I will continue on my quest!

 

Heck with the power folding mirrors. I wanted the RCTA on the f sport.... but I did sign on the dotted line.

 

You're probably going to lose factory warranty on things associated with the install unless Lexus service does the install.
Sounds like big bucks and not worth it.
Get a '14!

 

I confirmed from Sewell's website, the 2013 IS has the same number for the base of the mirror. As you pointed out, that part is painted, so unless you wanted to have it color matched, if you buy a used part it may be a different color. But at least it appears the 2013 GS owners who would like to integrate the folding option can use older IS mirror parts..
