rav4 is the cheap easy option for me

 

Wow, that Cartrimhome mirror offers impressive viewing area and would be my choice.

I've never been a fan of the Rav-4 style pocket convex mirror. Don't know why. I just never got on with them.

 

RAV4 style was a good option until the CTH option became available. It’s a larger convex area which makes it easy to see 3 lanes over. Also, the glass offers anti-glare and sequential LED turn signals.

 

Add Suma performance mirrors.
You can configure a few options that apply to our 5th gen.

Any distortion in the CTH home mirror glass? They are significantly less then Suma.

 

No distortion. I did find that the cth fits much tighter and is harder to install because it’s tighter. Also mine had the 3 pegs with the wrong orientation, I simply cut them off with a dremel. But the sequential lights make up for it

No distortion also glass is tinted blue and reduces headlight glare for night driving. My windows still have stock window tint from dealer, so I’m not blinded. Luckily I did not have to Dremel any parts off the back of mirrors install was very easy.

 

So did yours already had the 3 guide knobs removed ?

 

Yes, I didn't have to remove/cut anything off. Mirrors snapped in with no issue.

 

Does anyone know of any options that don’t require wiring that reduce glare?

 

You don’t have to use the sequential led turn signals.

 

Thank you all, still debating between CTH and Suma.

 

I had the RAV4 mirrors and wasn't impressed due to the blind spot mirrors wasn't adjustable. I do like the CTH and Suma setup though.

 

What has to be spliced into if you don't already have mirrors with turn signals? Or is the oem wiring present, just not used if you don't have mirror turn signals?

 

Link to CTH mirrors has a video, just need to scroll down.

Yes you’ll have to extend wires to the turn signals in the fenders. Also puddles can be triggered from door vanity.

 

I did the Rav4 swap. Not the best mirrors ever but a large step up from stock with no blind spot and better than stick on blind spots.

 

All that just to have turn signals in the mirror? Never mind.

 

Does anyone know where I can get decently priced replacement mirrors? My driver side mirror was taken off by a truck with extended mirrors who got a little to close.
