Default EK mirror options

I can't stand the look of my EK mirrors anymore. what options do EK owners have?

I like the JDM mirrors but I heard that the mirror lens is built for a RHD so it does not work well with our LHD cars? I have never seen any installed so I would not know. someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Spoon style mirrors look good but then I would lose my power mirrors.

Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks

I had EG6 mirrors on my old hatch. Yes, you'll lose good angles with the RHD mirrors, but it is manageable. I could still see out of them. Plus you don't entirely rely on your mirrors when you drive, right? Still gotta look over shoulder...

I've got CTR mirrors on my car and I love the look of them, but you're right about the mirrors being for RHD cars. Makes it kind of awkward at first.

yeah, just finding some european LHD mirrors would be hard.

what is the difference between the bomex mirrors and spoons?

Are the power spoon style easy to hook up?

Why do you care about the power mirrors. It's not like you adjust them all the time. Set them where you can see and leave them alone.

Nope, but give them a try. I might pick some up too if they work out well.

RHD Mirrors while being LHD allows for some visual blind spots.
That's another up to the CTR mirrors!
