Daniel, I'm looking to get a pair of auto folding mirrors as mine doesn't do that, how would I go about getting both auto fold and the side indicators? Would I have to buy the auto fold set, then swap out for these? Or are these auto fold as well? And how do you go about buying anything on this site as I don't understand anything on it except pictures >.>

Jonathan, you would need some serous wiring skills to do that on your car. You would need the switch set for the arm rest and the mirror control computer. I would have a set of mirrors, but not in your colour.

For Yahoo, read all this and you will know what to do.. http://www.f1kits.com/Yahoo%20Japan%20Purchasing%20Service.htm I run a simple service, you find it, I help you get it.

Well Jeff, there's some of these Soarer folding mirrors on eBay, comes with relay and switch. I was watching one that came with the armrest console (the entire thing) but someone else won the item (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110157693039&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA :IT&ih=001)
but now theres this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-Toyota-Soarer-JZZ30-Power-Folding-Mirrors-w-Switch_W0QQcmdZViewIt emQQcategoryZ33649QQihZ001QQitemZ110092894850QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V)
but comes with no armrest controller. I didn't want to throw out money on something without getting enough info on it, if it can be done, what I need and if the armrest control panel would fit my Left hand drive car. Will the 2nd one do? I don't really want the right hand drive control panel as it switches the windows (auto window on the right, etc.) But if i can have a folding switch in some other location that would be fine (like under the steering wheel or next to the speedometer light knob)

Yes they look OK.

You would have to have a switch hiding somewhere, like near the hood pull or something.

Hm, now I need to get one that are in my color! I believe they mixed up the pictures, as the 2nd one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-Toyota-Soarer-JZZ30-Power-Folding-Mirrors-w-Switch_W0QQcmdZViewIt emQQcategoryZ33649QQihZ001QQitemZ110092894850QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V) states it's moss green but the pictures are with black mirrors. So I don't need the whole armrest control panel? I just need the switch (to fold/unfold), relay and mirrors?

Yes, and a wiring diagram of the computer (it's not a relay).

Now I need to find a set of black ones. What about those heated/auto dim mirrors? How can I get those including the power folding?

They never Auto dimmed. If they came of a UZZ31 Soarer they may be "shaker type", just ask the seller.

Auto-dim was only for the inside mirror. Mine is push button, but I have it set to dim all the time.

Oh well, I might have been confusing myself cause I thought the 97 or 98+ SC300 or 400s had the side mirrors as auto dim and heated. I'd be perfectly fine with just auto folding.

The new IS (or Altezza I think) has a rear view mirror with auto dim and has a little small window for a compass. Saw it on eBay for like $200 dollars! I wanted it but it was in tan, as I want to make my interior black. My rear windows are too dark to have my rear view on dim all the time cause once I hit the residential streets, I can't see anything behind me (in case the coppers are following *cough*)
