not being an ***, but i think there's no more driving benefits of having a folding mirror in comparison to the OEM ones we have. IMO it's all about that whole "JDM" hype.

A few months ago while driving my mother's Audi TT, I was side-swiped by a drunk driver. Fortunately, I was able to swerve away from him in an attempt to avoid a collision. He ended up clipping the driver's side mirror. Had it not been the folding type, it most certainly would have broken off instead of folding in.
Please don't be a hater
Maybe you'll find a nice set too.Oh CiViCPrAnInG2k1, speaking of driving benefits. What do those door handles do for you?

Rep Power: 0 those handles i bought them from the philippines. so you can say whatever the fvck you want. besides, i wasn't bashing your mirrors, i was just trying to figure out what's the whole hype about them. read thru the thread and point to me the part that you think i was being disrespectful. if you find a need to search my ride and bash it for no reason well all i gotta say is, its none of your fvcking business what i put on my car or not. did you pay for it? NO so shut the fvck up.
about your tail question.
YES! they came stock from mah ***.

Rep Power: 0 yeah ur right there is some hype i guess with the mirrors. but about the parking thing, u can chose to park where u want...... but wen u get in late n everythings taken, n the only spots open are the spot infront of ur house that could get side swiped or 6 blocks away. which are u gona chose? my friends house is like that, n luckily he has folding mirrors which he can just push in so that they dont get knocked off by the traffic

Rep Power: 0 my wife and I are looking a the new Maxima, for a family car. I didn't realize, until I test drove it, that it had power-folding mirrors. What other cars in the US have this?

Rep Power: 274 The problem with the folding mirror is that it would still fall off if you hit from the mirror side.
for instance, you stop the car on the red light and a bike pass by from the back and it will knock it off.

Rep Power: 274 sure?

Again, they might get smarter by putting springs inside, that I can't tell. Did they put spring inside?

Rep Power: 0 My stock mirror just got ripped off as the car was parcked. I'm so pissed. I don't want to replace it with a stock one 'cause it's just a matter of time before it gets ripped off again. Where can I get a set of folding ones from?

Rep Power: 294 for the coupe, you gotta look at UKDM ones. as far as i know, they don't make the folding ones in japan to fit a coupe. check some UKDM sites and what/not.
