    The folding mirrors are an awesome "WOW" mod.

    I've had my folding since 2012. If u are interested send me a pm & I'll give u my contacts info.

    As for the install....it all depends if u are mechanically inclined & are comfortable working with electronic components.....if u are then it's not too difficult, just time consuming. If u are not then I don't suggest doing the work urself.

    I just opened up a brand new led mirror switch. Mita should carry this.

    The adjustment button illuminates, but the L/R and fold buttons don't.

    Glad I installed my new windshield wipers this morning; it's been raining cats and dogs!

    Looks good! What material is that? Thick paper? I want to switch mine out for purple ones and I've been looking at just using a sample of vinyl but I don't know if that will really work.

    Also @Starbrand did you have to use Photoshop or something fancy to make the new emblem? I have...Microsoft Paint at my disposal.

    I believe it's just nice paper that has been printed on, then laminated. You'll need some photo manipulation software that lets you change the hue of the image, in this case, your image is a scanned version of your heat blue emblem backing.

    Yup still so many things I wanna do like cf Remin dash kit, like the rear seibon but not sure the cf would match my Advan CF wing(cf finish may be different since from 2 different company's) and not even sure what front would look good with that rear since i have a 2012. NEED BAGS -3 CAMBER PLATES to finish the look. Been spending too much on family vacays (NY for 9 days in may & now Myrtle Beach for 7 nights) leaving me no money to throw into my ride! Bummer

    Dang @sfv41901, those are sick! Wonder if they'd be easy to open up and swap out for white LEDs for the signals. I'm not a big fan of the amber. Something I'll have to look into.

    I highly doubt it. This unit, just like the gen1 signals are plastic welded. The only way to open them up it to cut them open
