I just e-mailed them right now. so i will let you know when they respond if they respond.
But are they selling the entire mirror housing with the blinkers for 450/set or are these just mirror covers(cos then fitment issue comes into action)?

Speedaddic, if they are slightly diferent in angle from ours (which we have all established) but bolt on fine(am guessing they are selling the entire mirror with the housing which bolts onto our cars), can't the mirror itself be adjusted to fit the drivers views using the automatic switch inside the car?
do u understand what am trying to explain?

450 isnt bad, but the bad part is getting the controller to get the mirrors to fold, its good that the motor to fold them is in the housing, but you need the controller thats next to the mirror adjustment, in place of the change holder, if they have that, then im getting a pair too

if u get the controller, you still have to worry about running the wiring or getting it to work or something.
am okay without the power foldding. if they can just confirm that its plug and play for our cars, then its all good for me.
still not sure if they are just selling mirror covers or actual housings with the blinkers installed in them.

Nope, these were custom-made, fiberglass shells...entire new housings that replace the originals....NOT caps or covers to existing side mirrors.

Has anybody contacted Hameed lately about this mod? IIRC he was working on developing a marketable fix for this a while back.

i finally got a reply from Kazz Sports:
"Hi Michael,

Unfortunately, because of compatibility problems between the Japanese
and North American models, we are not currently selling this product to
customers outside of Japan. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,

Sam Remis
Kazz-Sports"

so i guess that option is a no.. no..
still getting with my intitial idea though.
so hopefully i can achieve what i want..
