I want these! They're for a honda, though. Hit a switch and they both fold in. Seen it on a JDM (right hand drive) integra once. Not a big mod but still kinda cool and different.

Fixed mirrors need to like go away or something. I don't know why they don't take the extra time and two bucks investment per car and put folding mirrors on. Maybe I do know why, then they won't get the $300+ a pop or whatever each time somebody bumps into the thing like they can with a fixed mirror. Or, maybe it's our wide, open spaces... In other markets, you'll be hard pressed to not find them - and if you're lucky yours may even fold in automagically at the touch of a button. I hear places to park throughout Europe and Asia are quite a bit more cramped than stuff we see 'round these parts, so they need these. I can't complain about the mirrors on the Accent - bodycolor, power, heated and folding, not bad for an econobox. And there have been a couple occasions now where the folding feature has been quite lovely. Sucks that people have to be jacknads and get close enough to my car to hit the thing, but at least mirror moves with them. Come to think about it, my neighbor reminded me just a couple days ago how handy a folding feature is. Stupid thing though, each time the mirrors get bumped, I'm sitting in the driver's seat trying to adjust the glass but to no avail, no matter how I adjust it I can't see squat. Then it dawns on me that the mirror is angled toward my side window. Duh! hehPlease, auto industry, give people these things. Make 'em fold. Or at least do something like my Malibu's mirrors did, they were hinged so if you bumped them in either direction they'd move but snapped back into place once you were no longer touching them. Something, please! lol!

i know a lot of truck and minivan mirrors fold. but i think it is a lot based on they can make more money if we break them.
