I ordered mine about a week ago...

Did you order them from the seller off of Ebay? Or the SIGMA? And, have they arrived yet? We are all waiting for someone to get them to give us the lowdown.

I don't know about replacing the covers. If I remember correctly, the turn signal mirrors are a bit elongated compared to our stock mirror housings.

Doc? You've done them. How did the "Remaining Good" mirror fit in the new housing?

The housings for the Toyota kit are indeed a bit longer, but the mirrors still fit perfectly. The opening for the mirrors does not change size, so reusing the mirrors is not an issue.

The same guys from Ebay, the Sigma products seem a little bet overkill on the price for the application, don't get me wrong, you get a lot more for your $$$, but I wanted only the fancy lights.
I assume 10 days to prep/paint the housings and another 5 for shipping. Worst case scenario 25/30 days to have them in my hands from Overseas.

Interesting. Whenever I have extra cash lying around, I'll keep this mod in mind lol. For now, education and finding a job and securing assets LOL.

I asked the guy for Tideland Silver ('05 color) and they don't have it!

I thought I read somewhere that the ones from Sigma (the japanese parts) are for right hand drive and that they had to be shimmed in some way to accommodate left hand drive. Anyone remember?

For this reason I'd think the housing for them mirrors would be find. While I'd love for them to fold, I'd rather just have the signaling capability than to have to mess with shimming them to try to get them to fit and maybe looking like a "make do".

If the 2009 in fact don't have signal mirrors, I'll be buying them after market and having them installed.

Looks like I might still need a BT plate too. I looked under a 2007 touring edition and it has the same old crappy plate.

Nope, no shimming at all. THey bolted on just fine, and the mirrors popped in just fine.
