Default Power Folding Mirrors

Hey guys I'm sure some of you probably already know this but I wanted to ask anyways. I was bored a few days ago and I opened the windows and locks console. I remember seeing a thread that some guy was selling a unit for a soarer that had power folding mirrors. The only difference was that it had two extra buttons and it was for the left side door. The US console looks almost just like that but with no folding buttons and its for the right side. So when I opened all the parts I saw that it already had the cut outs on the inside for those two extra buttons and the wire that would normally go there werent there. So I was thinking they might of decided to put power folding mirror but maybe took them out for some reason. Because why even have the cut outs and everything? Its not the same thing as the soarer because everything on this was backwards but they produced it anyways. So I was thinking it would be possible to have power folding mirrors without buy a backwards console. There were about 4 or 5 wires that were disconnected and no buttons so wiring it would by the only hard part. I'm sure they sell the power folding mirrors and if they dont I guess they could be imported. this is kind of like that parking like thing where you just hook up a wire from one to the other except this is a little more complicated but has the same logical. So I was just wondering how much those power folding mirrors would be. Oh and by the way I think the soarer mirrors had the same type of mirror the US rear view mirror is right? They darken if you press the button onthe rear view mirror? I dont know which models it was availible on but wouldnt the soarer mirrors have that too if they were power folding ones? I think this would be a cool mod for those who have run out of mods to do.

I am glad this has been asked....what are our sources for this?
Is there a DIY on installation? I am just tired of parking at the mall or whatever and find my mirrors pulled outwards. I mean damn, I park far out enough that big folks have room to enter/exit their vehicles.

since i can't seem to get people to quit dinging every car, truck ,and suv i own, i decided to order camera's for all of them. Next ding that comes along will be followed up with a visit to court for property damage with video evidence.

At 100 bucks a pop for the dent doctor to repair, it get's people attention quick when served by the police and is considered a crime.
