What do u think of this mod?

I've been wanting to do this mod on my TL for a long time now..but could never find one that's classy as the Mercedes and not as ricy as these...does anyone know where I can get something similar without paying a fortune..but not ricey like this?

Some one on the ClubLexus board has done this i believe. He used the actual E-Class housing and molded it to fit his GS. IMO it's the best way to do the project. But it's gonna be pricey .

Some guy that I met at the Funk Master Flex show does custom signal mirrors for anycar........he actually uses the Leds from MB. BUT it will cost ya atleast 500 bucks........BTW the mirrors that you are lookin' at are pretty ugly.......i've seen better ones for around 50bucks more.

Joey, why don't you just buy the casing for the MB mirrors and have them custom installed to the mirrors....I'm sure a body shop can do it with a little work....It would look a lot nicer....

BTW, don't do it!

Try using the 98+ Accord Coupe mirrors. VDO has M3 mirrors on his TL and they seem to fit fine
