    Maybe by chance you have photos of your US mirror (preferably disassembled) + turn signal and cover No3, to see how different they are?
    I trust you that if it was doable, you wouldn't order new parts though :)
    But locally, our workshop guys are very creative to fix unfixable parts :)
    I'm still thinking cutting/glueing might work? I understand these parts would become a single piece and I would lose option to change parts, but I don't really care much.

    Hi! Any update on a video or some pics to perform this mod? :)
    It's a shame the US version is so "gimped" VS the rest of the world ... I have been eagerly following this thread to get a better idea of what would be involved in this mod if I purchased the US version and alas it seems like quite a bit... o_O

    Because of that I am debating potentially just buying the South Korean version of the Prius Prime PHEV (I'm not an owner yet but have been considering one for a while) and importing that into the US for this + many other reasons (ie: South Korea is LHD + it seems to already has TPMSS + the FMVSS plate attached + more color options, etc.). The only thing I'm not sure about is the EPA regulatory requirement and labels. Those AFAICT are different / missing from the South Korean version. Since these are all manufactured and exported from Japan (and this is a hyper-efficient Prius we're talking about ;)) surely it would not be an issue?? Does anyone know if one could just use the existing EPA certificate & buy the appropriate US labeling?

    Thanks!
