looks legit... but it does not seem to come with the color matched cover.. apparently you have to get that separate.

Why does it always have to be negative with you???

Just like mike said, maybe he wants heated mirrors or the added safety feature of the turns signals. Or cuz he thinks they are cool

That's more expensive than you can get them from NissanParts for.

They're 152.45 each.

And I'm guessing this is for the Sedan, not the coupe.

It looks legit, but it is missing a cover. Might as well buy them online, get mirror assembly with covers.

I would think about these, after the rest of my car is done. The only thing I don't like about folding mirrors is that sometimes people are jerks and fold in the passenger side and if you start driving like that you are screwed (unless you have a passenger)

But the safety of not having someone side swipe your mirror is nice too, I have enough turn signals as it is

vonvivo, come on dude, he just wants folding mirrors with turn signals, that doesn't mean he's trying to fool people into thinking he has a 3.5

nissan gets most of their parts unpainted. they just send the parts out to be painted out of the box.

Just bringing this back up...did you get them and install? How hard was it? My main concern is the harness for the power mirrors doesn't include the blinker wires, but if it does, that would be awesome.

I was thinking about the same thing.

just check the wiring harness going to your mirror by taking off the black plastic piece on the inside of your door. if the wiring harness going to the mirror has 7 wires....then im 99% sure this swap will work. i only say 99% because a member on another forum had 7 wires going to the mirror, but the wires werent hooked up to anything, which we found very weird.

I will give that a go tonight.

I just found the parts on Parts.com

It is $360 for the 3.5SE mirrors, and $260 for the 2.5S mirrors. If I could only find someone willing to pay $260 for my mirrors...I would do this tomorrow. We will keep an eye on Ebay.

I did it to my car and the harness worked fine it was just plug and play... I'm not sure if it works for all the different packages but mines have the tech package.

Awesome, that takes Parts.com's price (which they say is 30% off) and uses it as the MSRP! Someone is a liar, and I think it is Parts.com!!!

Thanks

just make sure to remember that the coupe and sedan mirrors are different!! dont want you to buy sedan mirrors just because theyre cheaper.

Sheesh...didn't even notice that...he was trying to get me!

But, I looked up the coupe's and the site is still cheaper by $20. Making it $320 instead of $360. Thanks for the heads up though!
