Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures, but the process was very easy, especially compared to my old car (where I had to cut the mirrors off their bases, fiberglass over the hole and attach the plastic piece with the threaded rods so I could attach it back to the car). On the Prius, there are three bolts that thread from the inside of the door into the mirror base, a rubber gasket, and the mirror itself. Simply remove the mirror by undoing the bolts, trace the outline of the gasket onto a piece of aluminum, attach the bolts through the gasket to nuts with lock washers, and silicon the aluminum plate to the rubber gasket.
