Default Automatic reverse side mirrors

Wondering if there is a mod for automatic reverse side mirrors for the s2k, the s2000 have a bulge on the door that makes it hard to see the side walk when pulling parrallel to a curb. I find it to be a real convenince for the newer cars wondering if theres an easy mod for it for our cars.

I had this in my Acura and LOVED it, a lot. I'd like to do this as well. Passenger mirror is pretty annoying, you can't see the floor.

Finger to switch and move down---just joking --- yes it would be cool. Probably do-able--- wire something to reverse switch to provide power to circuit similar to one on a car with the feature.

We have this feature on another vehicle and I like it but I've never had problems with the mirrors on the S. That said, I have them adjusted so I can see the stripes when backing into a parking space or parallel parking (as I don't need to see that much sky while driving).

I can't imagine that someone would engineer and manufacture a drop-in module (which would still require running wiring -- not only from the power source to the mirrors but to the shifter as well) that isn't already widely known. It would just be a poor business model. The convex mirrors are probably your best bet if you want easy.
