Default Has anybody been able to install these... on a 2008 tc?

I need replacement for my passenger side mirror and ran across these on ebay they look nice but according to the description they are only for 04-07. Has anybody installed these on a scion tc 2008 or at least seen them in person?

Thanks

some dude has that in Chicago..lol only if I could show you how they look...fugly. They sit at an weird tilt position. If you wanted to go with some CF mirrors, you might as well go with carbon craft..the ones on the RS*R tC

Dont they suck. Had experience with them on my old car yes a dodge neon. I know, I know a neon. Ok anyways the viewing angles suck you always have to turn your head to see if you can switch lanes.

A cars year model starts mid year the year before.. had always been this way. It is incorrect to say anything 04 tC. Put it this way, if you bought your car in August 06 and bought an 06 intake for it.. you would get the wrong part.

But the main thing is that a vendor selling parts for a car should at least have taken 5 minutes to find out what the first year model was... its more of a credibility thing.

I wouldn't buy those. I did for my last car on my Mazda Protege5 and they are the hardest thing to see out of. The actual mirror is smaller, the mirror almost looks like a sticker so the cars look like a toy in the mirror, the blinking lights went out in 3 months, and the fitment leaves some gap so all you hear is wind noise. If you want, go for it but I would never do it again.
