just a quick question, do the mirrors from different years/trims fold to different angles?

ie. do some fold so that they are completely parallel with the car while others fold so that point out a couple degrees?

if so, anyone know which years/trims fold how?

Since I just bought a set of these, will swapping the actual mirrors give me the same view as I have now with my stock, LHD USDM mirrors?



you'll also need to use some plastic washers to make the glass bend to the proper angle. you need some convexity on the passenger side glass.
