Default Will Supra side mirrors fit?

I'm looking to replace my side view mirrors soon due to it having a lot of scratches, and I like the look of the Supra mirrors and was wondering if it would fit? The stock SC mirrors look like elephant ears compared to the Supra.

I doubt without modifications you'll be able to use Supra mirrors. The Supra mirrors mount onto the door itself whereas the SC mirrors mount on the corner of window frame.

The SC side view mirrors are heated and defog along with the defroster, the supra side view mirrors do not. You will be downgrading if you do so.

What do you mean by it's heated and defog? I've never really noticed a defroster for the SC side view mirrors.

What year SC do you have? I know on the 93-97 they are heated meaning when you hit the defroster for the rear if you feel the side view mirrors its heated to melt snow or defog.

mine is 92 SC300 and it does that
You can install supra (it will need a lot of buchery (drilling holes), it would not look right (it would tilt down, supra door is curvier than SC) and you would need something to cover the hole on the frame. There is after market carbon fiber mirror that install to the door frame (made for IS300) I forgot what brand, that is easier to install than supra's
