Ouch sorry to hear that, you may want to check Sewell as they are always cheaper than a local dealer.

Wow... just stole the mirror inserts huh... yeah thieves are the lowest of the low. Where was your car parked? Somewhere overnight?

Don't worry, karma is coming for them.

Have you checked your local junk yards? maybe they have a few Lexus's with the mirrors in tact. Good luck.

That is just ridiculous! And I thought getting rid of my Honda would elevate the thief issue.

Unbelievable I know, but apparently that's what gets people's rocks off these days... Stealing heated glass.
