Default Anyone Modified Their Side Mirrors?

I don't recall seeing a company making a full replacement side mirrors with blinkers for our cars ? This Job Design SC430 with side blinkers looks very nice/sleek. Is it safe to assume this is a total custom job ? (buying the MB turn signal and having a body guy mold it to our stock mirrors ?)

I'm waiting for Nigel (vendor) to come out with blinker mirrors for the SC430.. he has them for every other model except ours.

Do you have a pic of your car with this? Very curious to see how it looks like... I have a picture in my head of how it looks like.. seems it would make the car more exotic looking...

Thanks for the info... Did Nigel said he was doing it or just 'hoping' he would?

Your last sentence "he has them for every other model except for ours" seems like this is so true for EVERY aftermarket maker/company on our cars.

The 09 SC430 have blinkers in the side mirror. I don't know what they'll run though. Probably $$$ but I don't see them on the Sewell Lexus website either.

Oh snap ! Your right ! Damn.. have to find out how much these are and if it will fit older models... I am surprised no one attempted a swap already... I keep forgetting its not the GS or IS forum where things like this would already been done the 1st month it was released.

My wife is going to go nuts.. maybe be i should act like it came with the car and hope she doesn't realize it

I don't think anyones done it because the price for 09/10 mirrors, is ridiculous. In addition, early colors are not available in the 09/10 model years so that either means a mismatch or a trip to the body shop to have them painted the correct color. In the chart below you can see what colors are not available in the years 2009-10.

Send a message to these guys. I'm always looking for spare parts from them. Just specify that you need an 09 or newer side mirror since they're the only ones with the blinkers:
