A Zero 5 style mirror, does not look to bad. http://scionsport.com/store/product_...061f7c434d0b29

A euro style mirror http://scionsport.com/store/product_...061f7c434d0b29

bB Ist has some different looking mirrors, not sure of cost but can be found here http://www.bbist.com/Aerodynamics.html

There are a good deal of places that have stuff like this. Could even be different & find a style mirror you like & make it work

Tito,
Can you post some pics? How was the installation? Are you happy with the mirrors?

Got the M3's today. Arrived as promised. No installation guide or any instructions at all. Wiring is not compatible with Xb. Up controls equal down. Cheap plastic assembly and cheap mirror. The side mounts don't fit correctly. They are too big and overlap the window. Installed with wood screws into the cheap plastic mounts. What a waste of money.

No. As outlined in forum, from scionsport.com

I had to get some sheet metal screws to mount the mirror on the door. Looks like I will need to pay for a replacement mirror from Toyota.

Try this site,...www.car-parts.com they are linked to a bunch of salvage yards around the country...Good luck....
or you can try pming Grizzly_Choppers, he'll get you anything at the best price he can, but I had to replace my driver side mirror after some punk kids broke it off with a baseball bat and a new prepainted colormatched mirror ran right about $200 installed it would have been cheaper if I had just bought it and installed it myself forget what actual cost would have been.....

Thanks,
What make matters worse is the M3 drivers side mirror has the glass for the right side of the call so "things appear closer..." I'll try car parts. I did get a quote of $148 for a replacement. Was hoping to save some money.
