Matt, let me know if you can make that happen. You have N15s out there right? I think they are the same. Doesnt even need to be power folding, just as long as they manual fold, glass is the same. Let me know if you can pop me out a left and right side. That would be lifesaving me yet again!

Hrm damn, i thought maybe using the back side of the mirror swapped to the opposite side housing would remedy that. Since you'd have a drivers mirror reflection on the pass side and a pass reflection on the drivers.....but you say no?

Would swapping the motors themselves work? Like a USDM motor in the JDM housing? To give you the more outward "swing" in the glass to get it to go out farther?

Looks like they dont ship outside of the European Union, also I just need the glass mirrors, not the whole sha-bang

seems like alot of work just have PFM .But thats just me .
My b13 had them when I bought it and that ws the first thing to go.
Not only is the view all wrong,they looked funny too since one is angled more than the other.Looking at it from the front you could really see it.
On top of that when I put my cover on and off I had to get in the car and use the switch to open or close them. To me thats a PITA You cant just fold them by hand.
I am fine with manual folding mirrors
...However,I applaud you for trying to come up with something,matt

Well its mainly for the B14, the USDM mirrors are horrible, they dont fold at all. You ever try to shuffle sideways in a tight garage passed one and get hip checked by that damn side view mirror. After a couple times you wana break the freaking thing off....

I've seen aftermarket mirrors for the b14 on ebay that manually fold

Yeah I was thinking of grabbin the replicas off ebay, the manual folding but from a guy i know who got them said the mirrors are part of the adjusting motor. I think the only option here is really to find someone in Germany or a place with LHD N15's that can grab me a pair of the glass out of them.....either that or just switch to manual folding and have no power fold action.....can have my cake, but not eat it to =\
