Default Mirror dip in reverse?

Ive been doing some research on my new car (z). I noticed that in other countries they had a feature that allows their mirror to tilt down so that you can back up easier and not hit the curb.

Is there anyway I can install this on my z?

Seriously- the Z is already low enough that you shouldn't have to look down to see the curb! The next gen Z will probably have Nissan's around view monitor (AVM) system in an option package for those who can't stop curbing their rims.

I know its super worth it. Thats why I ignored the epitome of an online douche bag that posted the first answer. People Think that theyre opinions count to everybody. LOL

Do you know if I got a jdm-z mirror, It would work on my us-z?

Have this on my Hyundai Genesis sedan. It's fantastic when one back down a long, curving driveway (like mine). It would seem a simple circuit for anyone that understands the "Z" wiring - just a way that ties in reverse and the passenger mirror motor. Of course, it has to restore the mirror's position once the car moves forward. I doubt that anyone having the feature would laugh at it or want it removed.
