Hehe... I see we aren't decided.
When I talked to HID Vision he said he was putting together a container from Japan and he might be able to set up a group buy if there is something we want to get. Doesn't necessarily have to be for our TLs.
The auto folding mirrors are 22,500 yen each, or about $370 for both. The Inspire doesn't have heated mirrors, in the place for the heated button is a button to make your side mirrors fold in. In Japan, parking is tight and I'd bet snagging a mirror isn't so uncommon.
What I understand from Nighthawk is that the mirrors require voltage to open and reverse polarity to close. Not sure how straight forward the install will be but it would kick so much ass it would be worth it! I plan on tying it to my alarm on arm/disarm.
Whatever you guys want to decide on and enough people are willing to pay, we can go for it. I don't mind if its something I don't want. Value kits would be SWEET but I can't really afford something that much right now. Whatever we have enough people to go for!

door sills, badges, or the mirrors are a good idea too. I'll take any of the 3. I'm in.

I'd get the inspire camera. Do they sell just the cameras and you hook it to existing Navi or do you have to buy the rear spoiler with camera? And is there also front camera? I thought those were bumper sensors.

Alright it seems the general consensus is door sills, Inspire badges, and possibly auto folding mirrors? Blaze grill?
The mirrors will not be straight forward to install and will require some modification to work correctly. You'll have to figure out how to make a switch or how to hook them to your alarm.
