if ya got a svt then you got the jdms...or edms.....i really discourage buying any sort of ebay m3 crap they look goofy, and the mirror part is all wavy.they are too small and look all disperporsional

I got reminded on focal jet (via search) that the jdm ones wont work right, unless I could swap glass from a svt

the JDM ones fold electrically instead of manually

I can get these shipped over from Japan if you really want them. It's something I've been planning on doing for quite a while. I still have the part numbers here somehwere as well.

more of just a novelty item for me, and if I ponied up the money I would make them automatically fold in when the car is shut off

they have right hand drive, they look pretty much as the eruo spec, and i think the trans have different gearing, dont hold it aginst me, i just know the crap us spec, i like the idea of them folding it would be good for car washes. at tousley we would have like 5-8 sets of mirrors get ripped off by the car wash a day, focus only, they have a crap mount system.

They fold in, they don't stay their I don't think. Just kinda spring type thing. If you bounce them off anything, their gonna scuff the paint on them as well.

The mirrors actually have motors and are only available on the japanese Focus. How would you refer to the mirrors?

...but its imported to japan....

As for the mirrors, I would refer to them as a waste of money.
