no A/C is not an option here in the state of florida. you'd have to be crazy not to get it.

lol, don't talk about unesscessary weight of the 4oz of lights in the mirrors until you're willing to sack up and remove the a/c from your own cars

(for the record, my car came without factory a/c and it easily gets into the upper 90's in summer and into the 100's with humidity)

don't pretend no a/c means anything where you live until you are willing to blow your children's brain's out.

See, stupid comparisons aren't so easy now, are they?

Sorry, have to agree with barber...there are people here who have removed their A/C unit. I've felt the weight of the A/C unit and the blower unit doing a mod...and THAT is weight.

LED indicator lights on the mirrors is not unnecessary weight to affect your mpgs/auto-x results, etc..... Sure, it will have electrical problems later on, that i agree. Now...unless they were power folding mirrors like in Japan...then the motor could add some weight...but just LED indicators by themselves.

FYI, i have weighed a set with stock and with one....please provide proof lol.

Also painted the rear reflectors the color of the car.
They no longer look like an afterthought.

When we got our new Yaris...



...we had no choice but to take the AC because it was the only car available with a 5 speed. I'd rip it out in a nanosecond except that it's my wife's ride. At least I still get the fun of tricking out the car, and am hoping that the AC fails so that I'll have an excuse to remove it.

Yes, please do. I'd love to see the end result as I've considered doing exactly the same.
