Interested myself. Do you know anyone with a teg that would let you try this out yourself?

mirror base is the wrong shape. you can do it, but it wont be 100% and the mount holes dont line up correctly. integras go to a point in the front, civics are more rounded.


but from far away, they almost look normal.

this is not my car, but a picture of a hatch with integra mirrors.

What about the mirrors? Would the dc and ek mirrors be interchangable?

uwishucould158

I have the mirrors layin around I guess ima jus have try it out and judgin by the pic u posted and my pic I think that hatch has the ek mirrors not integra mirrors ur hatch has rounded mirrors as u said they should and the integra pic I posted has pointy mirrors

They are not directly interchangable. You can modify them to fit if you trim the mirror base to match the roundness of the EK mirrors.

thank u sir.. anybody on here done this them selves and have up close pics

Foobernutter

I am in the process of trimming them. Ill try to get some pics.

There was a thread on this site pretty recently about this, with close up pics even with some directions. Might have been in the apperance/build section (cant remember.) One thing you have to do, pending on wether you have power mirrors or manual, is you have to drill out a good-sized hole in the door area where the three 8mm nuts for the mirror are. Ill try to find the thread.

Tried it on my 99si before I crahed it. It dosen't fit flush. if your picky it will bother you.

hm i think im picky but it looks good in that hatch the other guy posted up top i think ima jus bust out the dremel this week end and hack them up ima try to find that thread

daluv

I couldnt find it. Im gunna check JDMrides.ca, it might have been on there that I saw the thread.

There is no way around the gap, its gunna be there no matter how hard you try (you gotta remember, the mirrors are from a different car.) IMO for how big the gap is (judging from the pics I saw on that thread) I wouldnt do it.

if it doesnt fit perfect den *** dem i picky as hell
