Default New mirror for the beater, or new mirrors for the CRX.

Recently my beater/daily bitch, was ravaged by an ice storm, se here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1109056

The car is all fixxed now except the mirrors, and body work, so I got glass now. HORAAAH! So the question is what to do for mirrors. As all Honda parts you can be bombarded with more options, than one human should ever have to decide from, but it only gets worse when you have 2 cars. Both cars now have JDM frontends(not pictured in CRX pics) and the CRX has a WW kit, and no more CF hood. The CRX is obviously my baby, and the Civic is just daily transportation. The problem is I am an indecisive **** and can't make up my mind, for lack of better wording.

For those on here that don't know my cars:

CRX


Civic


Thanks for your help, and have a nice day.

Why thank you. Thank you very much. Just wait till the grand scheme of things plays out. I'm looking for a 4 door, and a wagon, so I can make the hatch, not a beater anymore. Thank everyone that voted too. What would my indecisive *** do w/o you.

They probally will, I had a set mocked up, I was gonna try it with, but didn't. They should fit with drilling a hole or two. They look a little big for our cars. Thanks for reserecting my thread. I still haven't bought anything, got the driver's side mirror minus the plastic, just the mirror and support, and the pass. side is completely removed just holes. Thats ghetto grimey to the max.

Your about a month late, I just sold that hood. I got it direct from fiber images, on group buy when they first came out. Great hood, good fit, good quality. And yes uses stock latch and headlights. Went to a JDM hood and headlights, so the hood went bye, bye.

There is a grey wagon for sale down in Concord. Not sure what trim level. And I see 4 doors all the time. Let me know when you're ready and I'm sure I can find you a nice RUST FREE of either.

Those spoon mirrors suck ***. Can't see **** in them.
Might be OK for the track... but in traffic I'll take all the visibility I can get my hands on.

This is true my friend has Spoon mirrors on his EG and they suck, the TYCs look a little bigger though. Mabey I should just stick with stock.

No remington 870, and a tree fell in front of me and I drove through it. It wasn't hail, just a big freaking tree.
