Off topic question... Did you get auto folding mirrors on your IS?!?! What package does it come with?

Mine is a luxury package and it comes with auto folding mirrors & auto dimming side mirrors, but it is non US specs.

It is all about marketing and dealer preference. In my country its like the minimum requirement in a Lexus to have these options or it will not sell.

I see. Wish they would put the folding mirrors on the Lexus here in the US.

It looks like everyone has paid alot less than what I've been quoted. Although every other dealer I've asked is charging $1000 or more for the whole front of the car to be done. So the $800 quote from my co-worker is the best so far but he hasn't got back to what brand of clear bra they're using.

The price has a lot to do with the market. The folks in California seem to have lots of options. I only knew of one place that I could get a clear bra installed. I paid $700 for partial hood, bumper, fenders and mirrors. Haven't regretted it for one second.
