its a stock color for the cb7, but it's brand new paint. depending on the lighting, it can look greyish/silver, blue, or black, because all 3 of those colors are in the paint (it has to be mixed).

i forget if it's phantom grey (nh-561p) or pewter grey (nh-537m). i suppose shawn will chime in.

sorry bout that lol haven't been checking the thread but yea dustin is right, Phantom Gray Metallic, the Phantom Gray color actually has 3 different "shades" as well... theres a light, medium and dark... we found that mine was the dark

power folding mirrors??? Where the hell did you get that? eh, just sounds like something else to break.

[shawn.hayden]

haha got them from a place called Japan

[mrhonda]

uuuhhh....ok....

uuuhhh....ok....

japan, as in jdm... they were available for vehicles there; the popular theory being that parking space is at a premium and much smaller than here, thus a power folding mirror at the touch of a button, to help fit into those spaces.

hmmm....good point, thats actually a pretty good idea, but why do you really need them here tho? I'm just not familiar with this "JDM" stuff.

is anything really necessary, lol?

practicality:

living in downtown atlanta, there have been plenty of times where i want to fold my mirrors in, and i have to do it manually as i don't have power folding mirrors. it would be easier to do it at the touch of a button.



different/just because/"wow" factor/"what's that?":

not everyone in the u.s. has them, and thus you'll be unique. shawn has a coupe with power folding mirrors and that is indeed a rarity (coupe and sedan mirrors are not the same as the mounting points onto the door are different, and coupe mirrors are very difficult to find). it can be a starting point for people to inquire about the car, or for the owner to begin a discussion.


a modification that fits perfectly:

it is jdm, which is just oem in japan, thus you don't have to worry about ill fitting, non matching parts.
