Power folding mirrors

Just finish doing the last wire for the actual power folding mirrors. All I have left is to put the door panels back on (ANd jeez they've been off so long I don't remember how they go back on... ). The only other thing to do is run the wire for the electro de-fog. I'm going to wire it in to the rear de-fog switch (like the 94+'s I think already are). I just can't decide if i want to run it up close to the actual switch where I can see the wire and know which one it is (which will be a bitch) or try to find the wire down by the fuse panel and splice it in there. It'll be hard to find it there and be all taped up and stuff, but who knows, thats all thats left....

Oh btw, these are angled for US. I had to do a little modding for that... =)

finished putting on the door panels (man what a bitch, driver side still isn't perfect, but 99%), ran the wire for the electro mirror defog and wired it in to the rear window defog (though I need to wait for a nice frost to test it). Also replaced my battery bc the old one went bad... not that that has anything to do with anything. here's video...

That's pretty COOL!

I'm constantly folding my mirrors in so they won't get bumped.

Anyone who wants JDM folding mirrors can have em. I can usually get a good deal on them but you will also need the switch to fold them in. Standard option for a JDM Z32.

why would you want folding mirrors anyway??? you americans have way bigger roads then JAPAN. japanese made folding mirrors because parking is such a squeeze and the roads are very tiny.

hows that the same?? body kit and folding mirrors arent the same? folding mirrors have a purpose, body kit is just to make your car different from other cars. its like saying why buy big shiny rims which you can buy regular rims with hubcups for your car?? they both roll....

USDM Z32 WITH FOLDING MIRRORS = RICED!

some people would call a body kit rice on a Z32. its all oppinionated and about your taste. i dotn really see how its rice. its not an aluminum wing. its not decals down the side. its actually got a function. and he may have to park in a tight space and you just dont know about it.
