Give this man a beer! Yet another fantastic DIY guide with detailed instructions. Gonna add this to my to-do list.

I had considered it, but it would just be a mod for the sake of doing the mod, i.e. I wouldn't actually use them. I had paddle shifters on my IS250 and I rarely ever used them, maybe only once when I first got the car. Thanks for the link though!

Hmm, very interesting. I have them installed on my CX-5 and I use them all the time. Have been wishing to add them to my CX-9 for a while now, but haven't yet taken the plunge.

Thanks again Sm1ke for introducing me to this mod. I received the indicator today and installed it in a little over a hour. The hardest part for me was actually not removing the mirror itself but the outer casing. Those tabs was on tight and every time I managed to loosen one as I moved onto the next tab it would snap back in. I found it easier to go in reverse order from E to A on your diagram. The E tab would stay popped out and actually creates a wedge on its own. From there the rest of tabs pops off quite easily. Overall a great mod that adds a cool touch to your ride.

Great to hear! And thanks for the feedback on the mirror cover. Turborascal did this mod on his CX-5 and did the exact same thing. I'll be sure to edit the original posts to add this tip.

I appreciate the feedback guys, helps to make an easy process even easier!
