Default Anyone used the ebay 'spoon style' mirrors on a RHD crx?

I have a Crx Sir which is RHD..

i see these cheap 'spoon style' mirrors on ebay, but they say they are for LHD.. anyone know if they can be used for RHD?... and the difference between LHD mirrors and RHD mirrors?

Even if you install them on a LHD CRX they will require slight modification, so RHD shouldn't be a problem.

i had to grind on mine with a scoth brite wheel to get them to fit flush. they look ok but im afraid that if i go to fast they will just fly off cause the tabs that the screws go in are plastic and very weak. but even if they do fly off i only paid $12 for them.

If you haven't seen what the aussie's like for aero, you wouldn't be surprised. No offense to them, but their idea of body kits and what not is a bit..........."extreme."

Google "Hot4's" magazine. I picked a couple issues up when I was delivering in Canada. They got some crazy mods over there!

hot4's is a ricers mag, meant for 16 year olds.

The crx scene here (australia) has a bad rep, basically most people who own a crx want a fat kit (mugen, cyber2 etc) and large rims. Just because that is what the crx scene has been conditioned to be.

Fortunately we could import JDM cars for around 2 years, so there are quite a few EF8's around now so there is a new hardcore boy racers element.


To you guys JDM stuff might be all fancy, but if you have a JDM car it is a different story. I think the spoon style mirrors look ok, they would give better aerodynamics and lighter..
