Default Euro CTR Mirrors Finally Installed *PICS*

Euro Blinking, Defrost, Left Hand Drive Side View Mirrors

CONVEX! better than USDM, and they are LHD, i.e. not JDM RHD where you have to do a frankenstein install to get them to work. with RHD JDM, on previous EK, you had to swap bases, and glass, otherwise you couldn't see out of them. You need LHD Euro mirrors for the US.

Yeah, it's a long story, need to adjust that, after the accident... you get the idea.

The mirrors are convex, give a much better view than the USDM ones. The blinkers just make the car complete if you ask me, like a TSX, TL etc... had a few old guys give it a head nod today downtown )

IMO it looks tacky, theres too many lights, get rid of the lights on the front bumper. I think it'll look much better if you would smoke or tint the CTR mirror lights. Then lower it with some lower profile tires and it'll look hott. Well thats just my opinon so don't listen to me, do whatever you like and what makes you happy.

agreed, too many lights, plus you just spent tons of money on lighting and wheels and your car is still 4x4ing. im sure you been on forums enough to see people say suspension first

It was dropped on KW V2s for a year, I did not care for them, so I sold those, and will be probably getting the mugen suspension, or possibly importing the CTR or JDM CTR suspension... It's in transition again. I'm back to stock and ran across these lights.

They look badass. You can't have enough lights if they are done tastefully... and OEM CTR lights are nice... I could make the side markers run as parking lights, or alternate them between the side mirror lights... lots of options, you can make it run as you want.

C'mon these aren't windshield wiper LEDs... Check out my interior






They do make power folding, but they are RHD only, so you have to do alot of conversion, i.e. use the base of the USDM mirrors etc... and swap glass, plus more wiring so that they open and fold based on ACC power.

I am now a vendor, feel free to check in the sponsor's section under miscellaneous if you are interested in the lights or mirrors.

I think I'll probably forgo the blinking mirrors, but I have the German CTR HID headlights and they make a <u>huge</u> difference. The flare's perfect for reading road signs at night w/out blinding people.
