if they're powerfolding, then it's a good price, if not, then it's average.

Ya they are just like stock integra mirros. The mirrors are power, and only fol in if you push them from the outside. The are OEM plastic black color and have never been painted. He wants $70 firm.

so they're power, but not "power folding"? if so, then that's a fair price.

Well, Folding mirrors I have them. and I'll tell you what when i go eat out in chinatown. the streets are really tight and I could see some cars getting their mirrors knocked out orscratchedwhen cars drive by... And lucky for me I can just fold them in and have no damage done.

Let's just say sometimes it can be worth it - Chet

if they drive that close to your car, then you either don't need to park there or you either need a smaller car such as a mini cooper. seriously, if you've had experience where people have come that close, they usually will plow into your car, not just your little mirror. plus, the power folding mirrors only take away a couple inches, and btw, my factory mirrors arejust as closeto the caras powerfolding mirrors are when they are fully tucked.

Ok i got them, and like them. But how do you wire them and should i have them painted black if so how much will it cost. Or should i just spray a clear coat over it?
