OK i had kind of a problem, my drivers side side view mirror is glued on and the passengers side is loose, ( A stupid delivery truck accelerated while next to me and almost ripped of my mirror )...i was wondering if i should get the M3 style side view mirrors because i do like the little signal lights like on the Tc on the side mirrors, but the ones off eBay not have the triangular thing like the OEM one have. But i saw a camry ( i believe it was the same year as mine 99 LE ) with the M3 side mirrors, it had the triangular and it looked pretty nice on it.
SO my question is should i get the m3 style side mirrors and get them painted the same solor as the car or jus replace the two mirrors with new OEM mirrors

do u drive an M3? just kidding. honestly no, i wouldnt. there to common and played out and look kinda stupid on the gen3 imo.
what i think u should do is to install turn signals ur self. its very easy but would just take some time. all ud have to do is remove the mirror, cut a hole for an led strip then wire them to ur turnsignal lead. and it would cost u much less to do it.
well it seems like he needs to replace his anyway and with that one guy parting out his for 30 bucks shipped i believe it is an awesome dealer, cheaper than a stock replacement
the thing about my side view mirrors so that they are messed up completely...
On the drivers side the glass is glued on with ployurothane and the passengers side is loose...also i would like ot have side mirrors that fold in and if possible are heated...even if i do remain with the OEM mirrors how would i place a led strip to make it look like a Tc's side mirrors

dude it sounds like u wanna go with it, most have said no but if its what u want then do it it wounds liek a good deal anyways so whats to loose. the opinion poll option should be removed since people rarely use it correctly.
I like the F1 Carbon fiber mirrors way better than the M3 Mirrors. The M3 mirrors from ebay are trash! The carbon fiber looking fakes fad away and crack fast. I seen two people have them, the pastic is turning into dust like cheap lawn chairs:P
There are some places that make good M3 type mirrors for camry's, and also they don't fit good on the car unless you replace the weather seals with new ones.
this is what im going to do since my mirrors are still functional im goin to remove them and get the ebay m3 style mirrors...im going to install them and take pics and use them for a while...if i dont like them i 'll find some folding and/or heated mirrors to replace the m3s
