seriously bro i tried a set of ebay knock offs before i got the real thing it is worth paying for the real deal then getting some knock off that dose not work right!

having said that you can get some really good deals on ebay do not get me wrong but in this case just get the real thing!

oh and i believe inlinefour has the electric ones

i'm going to paint them though, so not really worried of the finish on the plastic, just want to make sure they work and won't break if a fly lands on them.

when you have a car that comes with power mirrors, getting manual mirrors is like moving backwards.

plus when you let someone else drives your car the always move the mirrors. its a pain with manual mirrors.
if I cant get the carbon fiber ones in power I may buy some ebay ones and get them covered in carbon fiber, or just paint them to match my car.

yeah I think I am just going to get the ebay ones in power, and paint them to match my car because carbon fiber mirrors also makes the car look like a dx also looks backwards.

I got the Vision ones for my DC from JHPUSA.COM. Good quality. You don't really need to spend the money on power, just set em and leave em there.

I had knock off spoon mirrors and thought the same thing, "Who cares about power". Although at least for me the main reason I dig it is because usually when some douchebag in a raised truck or someone with really bright lights is behind me I adjust the mirror so the light isn't right in my eyes. When I didn't have power I was like great... ehh just my 2 cents. I was shopping around for some new mirrors and was looking for power ones too.

Default Re: (GuitarSlinger78)

the thing is I am so undecided if I should get them at all now, because in carbon I think they will make the car look like a dx. and I hate unpainted mirrors.
if I get the normal ones and paint it the color of my car, I am not sure how they would look on the car either way.
plus I like my folding mirrors for when people bump into them or I hit something they fold instead of breaking. and being in Germany small streets they get hit alot.
but thats not the point. I want to see how they look I wish I know how to use photoshop,
I wanna see my car with all these carbon fiber parts on to see what is nice, and whats not.

I used to adjust my mirrors the same way to avoid headlights, but with the blue tinted glass dims down the light alot.

Guys question on the mirrors got a set of spoon mirrors for my 99 ek coupe since the mirrors don't come with the handle to adjust the glass. if i put the stock inside mirror covers on there it will have a hole in there for the adjustment arm. anywhere i can get a block off plate without the hole there or can anyone suggest something. thanx.

the blockoff plate for the power mirrors don't have holes in them, so get a set from a powered car.

I also bought the jdmshit ones. I have them on my 91 civic sedan. They were for a crx but they fit the sedan, just had to drill an extra hole.
The visibility is good, and they also come with the blue tinted glass to reduce glare.
