And he quoted a 5 digit price?
he quoted me at 380, but I'm paying extra for him to install as well. honestly not worth it, but its nice to have in NY.

Okay that’s not bad someone earlier in this thread said something about an insane price
 
I saw dollar signs in his post so I assumed it would be. Tho $380 seems on par with the stuff on aliexpress so I agree it's not bad.
 
if you do reach out to him, tell him Bryan sent you. hopefully, he gives me a discount on the install ;)
 
Folding Mirrors are standard on the Aussie ones!
Along with front & rear parking sensors
And Head Up Display....
Nice, it has most the features from japan except the larger infotainment. The only thing I'm jealous on your trims is that the CE equivalent model in AU removes the carbon roof, it's going to cost me extra to have to wrapped and the upkeep isn't worth the aesthetics IMO. for the lower cost in the US and more availability, i don't mind missing out on those features you listed. Im sure later MYs will get those upgrades barring the mirrors.
 
The Aussie GTS variant (1485kg) is actually lighter than the Circuit (1490kg) with the Carbon roof! For me, no carbon roof isn't an issue, its just another thing that needs to be protected, especially if left out in the sun. Maybe Carbon Roof weight is offset by the extra airbags you have in the US versions. We don't get the Front Passenger under Seat or the rear seat side Airbags.
 
Welp I want all the Aussie addons please and thanks. The folding mirrors dude said he'll get back to me when he has the mirrors for sale so that's covered. Just need our cool Aussie fiend @GR_BNE to send us part numbers for the HUD :)
 
Aliexpress kit arrived and not plug and play
Motors for the mirrors worked since all 12th Gen Corollas are basically the same.
The harnesses Ali supplied did not match our GR.
Hopefully I can return without any hassle.

Ended up buying the CarStomIt kit for $380 and is 100% plug and play.
All done in under 2 hours and zero running wires thru door jams.
Only flaw in this new kit is the mirror switch illuminates blue and not white.
 
Did not take photos of the process, also the reason how I sped through it. (Only took pics of the mirror connector)

My process didn’t involve tearing up the entire mirror adjuster to run wires. Only need to separate the two main plugs from the white housing in order to run through cavity.
The YouTube video was my baseline guide.

When you say not plug and play are you talking about 12v, lock/unlock signal... all that?
Mine involves wiring. I think I'll be ok.
