07 vs. 08 changes

Help an FJ noobie here!

What are the differences / changes / improvements / new features between the 07 and 08 models?

I'm hoping for heated mirrors and backup camera by the time I get my FJ, late this year or an 09.

Re: 07 vs. 08 changes

You could buy now and put all that in yourself. Currently the FJ is not offered with those two items, but people on this forum have done them both.

differences from 07-08 are (there may be more)
improved inner fenders (read fender bulge thread and come back in a week when you are done with it)
side flip down sun visors
side curtain airbags standard instead of optional
Bricks and Sand
Flux capacitor

I'm sure there is more but I can't remember.

Thanks for the replies, sounds like the 08 has quite a bit more available.
