Excellent write up. Very thorough and clearly stated. I saw the Pic of the scion. I know 06 and up BMW's have the LED lights on the doorhandle and they're bright. My dad's X5 has the passenger mirror go down in reverse so you can see the curb. It makes backing up in a tight spot easier, especially in an SUV. Do you know if there areany auto-dimming exterior mirrors out there for the 3?

I have seen tinted replacement mirrorglass (blue or smoke tinted)but never have I seen auto-dims for the exterior.

Anyone else?

What he said. nabobery sells the blue tinted mirrors, but I've not seen any auto-dimming side mirrors. If anyone finds them however I'm all over them.

I looked on your CD page and can't find the pic(s?)Which page of the page do you haveit on? I looked on 4 which is your electrical mod page and it wasn't there, or on the 1st or 5th pages either.

And yes, your sig is all better now, Remi!! I know I don't have too much room to talk, but I have made some progress w/mine. And I know you wanted to do these mods for a while now. I'm happy for you that you are finally getting it done, as it were.

Now, as for my suspension.... [&o] The wife says I spend too much time on here and thinking about Mazdas/cars, and not enough time doing (her) house-hold projects. I know she's right, but.... It could be a while.

Oh I haven't posted pictures up on Cardomain yet, they're in the link to the walkthrough in the OP. I recently went back to my CD page and realized I hadn't been to it in over a year and did a little bit of updating, including putting stuff about the LEDs and heated mirrors in. I think that's when I was in Denver the other week. So I suppose I'll go upload some new pictures to CD now.
