will the after market side mirrors for the Corolla/Matrix fit the Vibes?

I would venture to say if any, it would only be the Matrix. But I wouldn't put money on it.

I've always wanted to replace my mirrors with some small cameras for the shaved look... maybe you can be the first with that mod

what i think would be cool... getting a rear view mirror that has side mirror auto dim controll. then get auto dim side mirrors... ya'll fallow me?? connect them all.. but the though part... finding a set of mirrors that will fit atleast well enough on the vibe. if you live near a junk jard.. you could take a trip and measure a few.. or... another way.. find the mirror plus mechanism from yet again, another car. (lexus 430) that has outo dim, and wire them up in place of the stock mirrors. (mirror plus wiring) not the complete housing. i think it's possible. but no job, no money

are you saying teh 430 has the same mirror shape?i was thinking about making a template of the mirror and walking around dealerships

no, it's an example of a car that has auto dim side mirrors on both sides. from the pictures i've seen. they look like they might fit.wait, let me clearify myself. the mirro. not the housing. we need a list of vehicles that have auto dim side mirrors, and try get the dimensions for the mirror peices. it's really possible.

yea i am with you... mirrors, not housings.i think the cutout idea would work. i could go to the lexus dealer saturday.

alright, now we're on the same page. we would need a wiring diagram of the Lexus side mirrors. and ours as well. if the measurements are good.. we can try something. never go with the dealer parts.. i'm sure their mirrors go for over 500$ junk jards are the way to go. car-parts.com. another thing we would need, is another vihicle's rear view auto dim mirror with side mirror control. the side mirrors get their sensor input from the center mount rear view mirror. for sure, i know the Lexus does, and so does the 98 and up caravan mirror (certain models)i have the ladder.

well, so far, walking around like a moron holding up a mirror cutout to other cars mirrors has gotten me strange looks, but not much results.i think an IS would fit, but its not the exact same shape. a previosu gen camry seemed to be very similar but i dont think they offered the dimming mirrors on that gen.anybody know who make shte vibe rearview mirrors?

LOL! The mental picture of someone walking around with a piece of cardboard... hahah!If they thought you were crazy, worry not--- it's the crazy folks that come up with all the cool toys and such.

i carry my mirror shaped cardboard with me everywhere, so that i am prepared for the one day a light shines down from teh heavens, and a chrous sings and i see the mirror that could be the same shape and HA, i can verify it!yea, i am a dork!

It's good... I'd love to find a set of auto dimming outside mirrors! Nothin' wrong with being a dork, you're not the only one of those around these parts!

now... i don't think you will find both side auto dim. those are even harder to find as only high end luxury cars "offer" them. most luxury cars only have the drivers side mirror auto dimmed.
