Kirk Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I suspect the rear view mirror should be a possibility. Something out of a BMW or similiar will probably work with little trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 High spec V8 Soarers had the auto tint rear view mirror so there is a Toyota option, not sure tinting door mirrors is even legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Same place as where the standard one is. The only difference will be you will need to wire it in to get power to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 not sure tinting door mirrors is even legal? You find them alot on the likes of audi's and BMW's so they must be legal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza w Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 my dads got an rx400h with them i'm just making a list of the possible things i could do to make driving more pleasurable for myself when i actually get a supe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The mirrors contain all the bits to make them tint, as m_life said you will just have to feed a 12V supply. As for the mirrors this will be more complicated as you will have to find some electric photochromatic glass mirrors and get it cut to fit the Supra housing. You will then have to get a trigger from the interior mirror. Sounds like a world of pain, but good luck if you try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 By the way, when looking for an interior mirror stay well away from Saab ones. They are crud!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are crud!!!!!! haha im leaning towards a BMW or Lexus ones as they or probs the best and i'd say the Lexus ones would be easiest to fit being 'Toyota' i probs wont end up doing to side mirrors, sounds like too much hassle!

sideexitsupra Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Unless you develop a wing mirror fetish and see if any Audi or BMW etc have similar sized glass to the Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 High spec V8 Soarers had the auto tint rear view mirror so there is a Toyota option, not sure tinting door mirrors is even legal? My range rover has auto tinting side and rear view mirrors !!!! the mirror glass is £159 off e.bay, damn good though, really funny when someone try's to be clever and give it main beam behind, it just does not dazzle at all, I normally let em past and return the favour but put it on its high setting and get about 2 inches behine em at the lights.
