JDM 6GC FOLDING MIRRORS, WOOO! PICS! Options

[Jen]

Yeah yeah I know. I was just confused as to what some of the people on here said. I was just making sure I was right.

[Batman722]

Jen has the USDM normal folding mirrors.

Joker has the JDM POWER folding mirrors.

Big difference

any questions, let me know. I wired mine up a while back

[Jen]

If they fold then they are JDM, others only had heated mirrors or UK ones only had heated anyway.

Nathan

That is what mostly confused me. Eh, I guess I get confused too easily.

I want a button that shoots the mirrors right off the car, so I won't have the "drag" when I am trying to out run the police. It will work with the suspension that will lower the faster I go.

I call it the "Drop and Pop" manuever, patent pending.

love it. put me down for 3

[azian_advanced]

i like....


i'm looking for a pair too. lucky you i didn't see (or if there actually was one) a FS thread on these, or i would've been all over it! hopefully another set comes up on eBay or something..

Outsider has done this swap to his celi and claims it was fairly simple to do..

here's a link to a how-to:

Yea, I'm rich. JK. Actually, what happened was that I had no idea they manually fold in. Lol. So I bought these. I don't regret it tho, because it's kinda nerdy to go everywhere and fold them in after you get out of your car. With the push of a button, it's real pimp and it gives the car a newer feel. I don't know, that satisfies me. What makes me happy is working on my car and modifying it in anyway possible. Some people would rather save their money, some people like to spend $1000+ on rims, the world is crazy man, lol, get used to it.

well yeah true i mean i paid 850 for headlights so yeah i know what cha mean. but what we refuse to understand is when we sell our cars......they are worth nothing we will never get what we put into them. unless of course u put every thing on the car back to brand new status. and that would be very exspensive. but hey its fun till u either wreck it or go to sell it. then its a slap in the face.

[tomazws]

From what I've experienced, I've only seen those folding mirrors on Lexus'.... how pimp is that if I have one on a Toyota!

lol, yea i see where ure coming from. i mean, for me, its my hobby. i dont plan on selling my celica anytime soon. im real attached. i know all about car values and things, so thats y, while i have it, i try to keep it clean. if i mod anything, it has to match with everything else. my car is silver and all the lights inside are blue. my intakes couplings are blue. my 7th gen celica seats are blue/black. so it all matches. and if its not that, im adding options to the car that it didnt come with. such as the power folding mirrors. and anything i add to the car is usually because i sold the old part, so that i dont lose money. for example, my 6gen seats, i sold them for about the same price i paid for the 7th gen seats. i try to be smart about it because of that same reason you stated. its good to know we're on the same page.

lol. i'll let you know exactly how pimp it is when i have em on... hehe.

[CelicaZR]

If you figure out how to make the relay works
with the button on the switch let me know

[Batman722]

old pic of my mirrors in action (gif pic made by SilverGT from a vid I made)

the easiest thing to do is to wire them to a 3 way toggle.

[elvasoshexai]

has anyone got them to work with the jdm control switch?

[Starcraftjunkie]

So what happened to your old side mirrors? I mean, if you had them, you know know they fold in, right?

[JoKeRkId613]

My old stock side mirrors are still in my car. Through this thread, I know half the 6GC community learned our mirrors can manually fold in. Trust me, about 75% of these guys didn't know we had Cup Holders... and the thing says "cup holder". the mirrors dont say 'fold me' on them, so i dont feel too bad. hehe.

Well, in short time i will have another Set of JDM folding mirrors for sale from my SSIII. These will come with the Folding switch / relay / and everything you will need.

[madmods]

I never knew anybody got them to work. i remember reading wiring problems. well cool joker, your car is coming out good.
