"jdm" mirrors, who likes them

in japan the FCs only got 1 style of mirrors (that i am sure of) and its the ones we got 1 year (i think it was 89) the ones that you can fold back. who likes them, who doesint? i like them alot.
my friend hates them, he says it doesint flow with the car, and is not cool like his "soo original" turboII mirrors (nothing against the TII mirrors, i like them also, but i rather have these)

those dont look too street legal. you can find mirrors like that for typical formula racing. most any class i'd think, not just F1.

The stock JDM mirrors are bigger than the US ones, and both sides have convex mirrors. They give fantastic rearward vision because they cover such a huge area. I personally think they look fine, and certainly wouldn't sacrifice the extra safety they offer to fit smaller ones, particularly those ridiculous little "racing" mirrors.

The US never got any folding mirrors on the FC. We did have 3 styles of mirrors though, the 86-88 solid, the 86-88 aero (with the hole) and the 89-91 aero with the hole that was smoother.

I love the look of the JDM mirrors and would love to have them on my 89 FC. The glass area is larger making them more useful and they fold which is very helpful in a one car garage.

Does anyone import/sell the JDM mirrors?

We do get both versions, electric and manual. Just mechanism inside is different, outside they are same, both foldable.
