Default Installed a Convex mirror in the Drivers side mirror

I got this idea when I had my S2000. Someone has been selling OEM JDM left hand mirrors to put in our USDM mirrors. The difference being that its CONVEX, just like our passenger side mirrors are (because the left side IS the passenger side in JDM land), except without the stupid "objects in mirror blah blah." it TOTALLY helped with the S2000 because of the mirror and seating position and lack of a rear qtr window. So I've been looking for a used OEM mirror to show up on Ebay.uk or .jp for a while and asked a few ppl who trade in JDM parts to get me JUST the mirror... no luck and it just wasnt worth ppl digging this part up, even tho its small and relatively cheap to ship.

Anyway, long story short, theres a UK vendor who sells replacement mirrors and makes them to be direct fit for the CRX. I finally got one and installed it. You can see the difference! (ok the angle is slightly exaggerated but it obviously does the job.)




im sure haters are thinking, "the crx has no blind spots, just turn your head". Well it certainly helps and any quicker way of getting information to whats around me is a good thing. its nice to have the extra reassurance that no one has moved into the blind spot in the moment since i last turned my head to look back.

this is the seller on ebay.

the fit is ok. they make it so you can pop it in the OE mirror assembly, or just stick it over the old mirror with the supplied double sticky tape. i decided to break the mirror off a spare drivers side mirror, it pains me to break anything OE and still useful, and popped it in.
