Question LX-Mode Chrome Side Mirrors

Hi guys,

Just need your opinion on the LX-Mode Chrome side mirrors addon. I can't seem to decide if it looks good on my black IS or not. Anyone have them on? If so, post some pics please?

Thanks.

If you are looking for the real LX-Mode Chrome mirror plates... sorry to let you konw it won't fit unless you have a right-side-driving vehicle.

Search around the forum. We talked about it two+ years ago.

I was soooo close to getting those chrome covers, then I found out about the LED mirrors. I'm glad I went with the LED mirror covers. Now when I see these chrome covers, I ask myself "What was I thinking!"

yeah personally i think on a darker colored car, the LED mirrors looks the best becasue it stands out. My car is white, and it's not as noticeble.
