nice! that's what i was thinking like right after i posted, but wanted to make sure...now i'm guessing it's the same set of tools for installation onto the 6th gen? well plus a drill to drill the one hole..thanks guys
sorry for all the questions, but i'm a little newer at working on my car other than doing simple things like oil changes and such..lol -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

yeah i actually figured that out when i tried fitting the 8 mm to the stock bolts to make sure..lol
well i went to the junk yard today, and unfortunately there were only 2 5th gens and the mirrors had been taken off of both  ...so i'm not really sure where i could get them now..any suggestions where they'd be semi cheap?

PLUS ON OUR WAY OUT, THEY BROUGHT IN A 6TH GEN!  I was so excited!! I had never seen one there before..

States for sure... ask member from states give u a hand and give u a quote
Some Advice for RHD 6th Gen One teething problem, the 5th Gen bullet mirrors are exclusive for LHD 5th Gen Celica, never seen one in JDM or RHD's 5th Gen Celica. The spec and the viewing angle is for LHD only. That's mean, for the passenger side/LHS worked perfect. And, you can only see the rear fender on the driver side/RHS, its horrible, shoulder check became compulsory. Later found out, simple tricks to tackle this problem, just remove the mirror and put some double side tape under the mirror to change the angle, and it's work fine now. I am happy as no more shoulder check and look good now! This post has been edited by vincent_doggy: Apr 29, 2007 - 4:52 PM -------------------- |
