Oh man, the stuff I've posted isn't even the half of it, we've been extremely busy.

Yes, I know I have to get the site up and running, we have to find time to work on it though

Does the passenger side mirror tilting still work? Looks really sweet, would love to get that done on my '03 TL-S.

he previously posted that it was being done on a '99-'01 TL... they didnt have the tilting passenger side mirror so this would be unknown.

im getting the JDM inspire power folding mirrors so im not sure if i would want to hack those up.

We can do it on most any mirror, but price is going to be higher than what I stated above. It's A LOT of work to take a blinker whose curve is different for every mirror and make it fit and look nice, I'd probably be more in the $600 - $700 per pair plus paint range. They are taking a lot of time to make perfect, and that's what we are striving for Another option is to get the TSX mirror cover, we cut that part out and mold that to the other mirror - will save a lot of time.

Here are two more "in the making" pics:

Yup I agree However, if we did have the TSX mirror cover, it would cost significantly less because we wouldn't have to make everything from scratch, we could just cut out the blinker opening from that and mold it to whatever mirror we wanted.

Oh, and to answer the question above, all features of the mirror still work, yes
