Anybody know where I can get a set of JDM folding mirrors for my car? They do fold in automatically when I shut the car off right? And open when I turn it on? I was thinking it would look pretty bad if I got those. It would accent the "soon to be here as soon as I get enough money and order it" carbon fiber hood nicely.

they are all over eBay, you can get some authentic JDM ones also...type in "EK9" for some...plus other JDM goodness. I never heard of them folding automatically...I've only seen em' with the swith that you press to open/close them.

even though it would be sweet ass to have them fold whenever the car is on/off they don't work like that. there is a switch that you have to buy with it its just like the auto adjustable mirrors. most of the time the mirrors are sold with out the switch so make sure you get one of those.

The ones you found for $120 (autodynamic??) are only power mirrors.. They're not power fold-in as well, you have to fold them in manually.. If you're looking for power fold-ins, then expect to pay like $300+jai si said:

Nope.. the only 'power' part is the actual mirror itself.. It hooks up to the factory controls so you can move the mirror around to suit your needs while driving.. The actual fold-in function of the mirror is manual (you have to do it with your own hands)jai si said:

The for real deal JDM ones have a different switch and they do fold with the puch of a button...the switch reseambles that if USDM one with the left-right selector and then there are two controls...one to control the mirror it self like ours has and then another one below it that folds the selected mirror in. Maybe someone just ought to invent the ones that fold automatically when you shut off the car....they would make some serious $$$ I'm sure. I would buy em'....especially if they were JDM style.

It even mentions having it hooked up through an alarm so that they fold automatically...so there is a way! I like this idea, I might even have to try it one day when I just have the extra money laying around

The genuine Honda of Japan ones can fold in automatically.. They have the motor to actually 'fold' the mirror in.. The ones from autodynamic only have the motor to move the mirror glass, not the entire housing..jai si said:
