Mazdaspeed JDM side mirror

I thinking of getting a pair of this to complete my mazdaspeed bodykit. I have searched the forum that it is doable on a LHD RX8 without the heat functionality and the motor still work, is there any other issue with the RHD mirror on LHD RX8 (e.g. viewing angle)? Can the mirror be easily change to LHD mirror?

Yes, the size of the mirror is very small.

They don't stick out far enough so it makes it worse.

impossible to set mirror to view blind spot.

I think that is caused by the differences in LHD mirror & RHD mirror because of the curve live of the miror. Am I correct? Can the RHD/JDM mirror be replaced with the LHD/USDM mirror? Obviously the mirror has to be custom make and fit.

The mirrors are smaller in size. The image does not get "enlarged" like your OEM mirrors. (Does not have the "Images may appear closer" message). The passenger side mirror is angled just fine. The driver's side however is pretty limited. With the mirror tilting farthest outward (if that makes sense), half of the mirror shows the road, half shows the side of my car.. Something like that. Hope that helps

Can the mirror be replaced with a custom cut USDM spec mirror? Or the tilting motor is another limitation?
