What are those mirrors made out of? Do you think you could outline some basics of the process or however you're gonna make them? Looks like a cool project and I bet those more recent mirrors will look almost OEM on the shape of the SC which was ahead of its time. Looks cool.

the mirror is oem sc300/400... well first u have to measure the mirror with the len then cut out the middle to fit the shape of clk len...then I just used plastic to outline and sand it down... Jimmy

I don't know...sorry...it depend how much your local bodyshop would charge...I was doing this for nextlevelcoupe as a test unit cuz i never done one on a sc300/400..well all i can tell you is the 01 clk len is 100.00 for both side..most bodyshop will charge between 500-600 including labor and paint....And guys please don't post (i'm interest how much?) cuz i'm not offer group buy or anything..i don't want the Moderator to closed this tread up thanks Jimmy

That's pretty cool, i think it's about time that Toyota/Lexus start makin these things standard. I mean, even some of the Acura's have them. BTW, major props to all of you guys on the fab work, love it.

No, I'm pretty sure Tom's only makes the LED mirrors for the GS. RMMGS4 told me he made them himself, a one-off project.
