Not the glass. It's the switches. They would be on our passenger side door.

Power folding except since it's RHD, everything is backwards, unless EDM cars have em.

The RC is even more stripped down than the RA.

Ohh, OK. Well, there's gotta be a way to retrofit something, I'd imagine.

Totally. You could do it. The Honda guys have been doing it for years now. You'd need the mirrors w/ motors, switches, harnesses, relays, etc.

How would you flip the switches for the BRZ? They're unidirectional unlike most Hondas.

EDM GT86 Models have power folding mirrors as standard, so you should be able to use switches/parts from that to change the USDM BRZ

However, they do not automatically fold when powering off the car, you have to push the button everytime to fold and unfold the thing. Kinda useless like that in my opinion

Same in Japan too.
