ctr side mirrors
Well I was thinking of getting some ctr side mirrors for my hatch and was wondering if I had to remove my door panels to install?

Re: ctr side mirrors
no you dont have it in that case. Just pop off the plastic triangle part above the door panel. Then there are 3 10mm bolts that hold the mirror on.

Visibility sucks since it's for a RHD car. I've heard of people making it work, but I prefer LHD mirrors to begin with.
Btw, they're not just from a Type R. They're just overseas mirrors in general. I don't think anyone outside of North America got the elephant ears.

Yeah, here in Europe even 1.4:s have the folding mirrors, so there's LHD versions too. Probably wouldn't be too expensive to hunt down a pair from a junkyard and getting them shipped, though that'd probably require a contact from over here.

I've shipped items to Europe and had items shipped to me.
I've been getting compliments on my elephant ears lately. Apparently my car pulls them off well.

Re: ctr side mirrors
Yeah, that's true. I ordered a front lip from US to Finland, 70 dollars shipping and it'll probably be an additional 50 euros customs, haha. Then again, getting mirrors that are being sold as "CTR mirrors" probably will be pretty expensive as well.

I could have sworn I posted in here about EK9s being Japanese only and therefore RHD only.
All '96-'00 Civics appear to have the folding style mirrors besides the US and Canada (and possibly Mexico IIRC?). So any country that is LHD should work.

Re: ctr side mirrors
JHPUsa has the folding mirrors (non-power) for a pretty disgusting price, 300-something. You could also try asking for example www.akr-performance.nl , they've got spare parts for various European Civics, so maybe they might have a set of OEM mirrors available too.
