All of the Mustangs should have the folding mirrors and integrated turn signals.

What's the big deal? They don't have to be in the mirror... they could be on the fender.

Thanks!!!
These 19" rims are actually standard on Japanese GTs. I really like them too!

I'm going to try to get those badge protectors off soon. Probably Monday if the weather is nice...

By the way, your Mustang is seriously cool! If I ever come out your way, let's cruise around!

Shiga is a little far though!

Can you post pics of the mirrors? Is there a piece between the 5.0 badge and fender? Lastly, are those turn signals below the 5.0 badges?

Dunno about the pics, but for the EU side-turn signals at the mirror level (either the mirror itself, or beneath it) are a requirement. So mine does have turn signals right below it's GT front fender logo's.

I'm curious about the folding side mirrors. Would you take some pictures of the control and the mirrors when folded ? How much do you think a set cost from Ford in Japan ? Does it need different wiring harness ?

BTW, about your quest for halogen headlights; you might want to get a pair from a RHD country due to the light pattern (the cut off pattern). The USDM version may become a problem since it's a LHD country.
