Hi guys, during my down time during work i thought about retrofitting the tC side mirrors onto my 02' IS300. But the thing is i noticed that the mirror mount is different on both the is300 and tC. Question is could i get a detailed picture or if better yet an expanded diagram picture of the side mirror housing from the tC so i could get a better view to see if i could reuse the stock is300 mirror mount and adapt the housing (is300) onto the tC mount.
Here's what the is300 mirror housing looks like
Here's the part that attaches to the door:

And here's the underside where the mount attaches the housing:


If anyone could, take a few pictures similar to those above i'd gladly appreciate the help :D Other than that do you guys think it would be a feasible task?


Oh yeah here's a pic of my 02' IS300 5spd (Intense Blue Pearl) :

A close up of the AV3's :D :

And a picture of my old 89' Corolla GTS behind my IS300:

I sure do miss the rev of that JDM Hi Comp 4AGE

 

aww c'mon 30+ views and no replies?

 

because we scion owner love our mirrors

 

yeah go away! haha

does the is300 side mirrors fold, b/c the tC doesn't the only thing I dont like about them.

 

x2. I really don't know why Scion/Toyota decided to put fixed sidemirror housings instead of the folding ones. It would've been a lot more convenient for us. Sigh. Hopefully on the next gen tC....

Have you checked the tC shop manual, OP? Maybe that'll help ya a bit.

wow i didnt realize that the tC mirror doesnt fold. thanks for the responses though. I might still seek out a trashed tC mirror and see if anything is possible or find another ideal mirror candidate.
