Default 2019 RC mirror swap




does anyone know or think that the new mirrors from the 2019 RC that are also on the LS/LC will be swappable over to our IS’s? i like the new design a lot

Don't have an answer to your swap-able question but agree, they do look good. Seems like they added this new mirror style to the 2019 ES and UX too.

you'd have to pay attention to the mirror height (RC and IS seem to have different base heights) and the attachment angle (not sure if the angle is the same where it attaches to the door)

the screw patterns (there's 3 bolts) seem to be similar.

of course you'd have to fork over around $800 a side if not more.

and this is assuming you have no wiring to deal with (which really shouldn't be that big of a problem.)
