How is fitment if say you were able to find side mirrors for your 92-95 hatch for a cheaper price but they were for the DC2s or 96 and up civics?? Will it work?

 

At one time wanted to find this information out, a bump for a possible answer. I personally doubt the ones listed will fit without trimming the exterior casing. I would be more tempted to try installing crx or 90-93 model teg mirrors.

 

Here is some 96-00 Civic mirrors on a 92 CX. My friend said it was a pain in the *** to get them to fit - so to answer your question, it can be done.

like you said PITA.....why when it is soo much trouble!

 

ill be doin this to mine soon, all you have to do is use a dremel and open up the stock hole a bit for what you need for the 96-00 mirrors to fit. Ive talked to 2 people that have dont it and they both said its rather easy, but you need a ddremel and take your time, you dont want to mess up.

Im doing it to get rid ofthe M3 mirrors i bought a while back.

 

I was thinking the same thing... the cheapest mirrors I found were like M3 mirrors lol or spoon copies. But I found a pair of 99 stock civic mirrors for a way cheaper price.

 

That is pretty much it.
I used 96 electric because they where free and my drivers side mirror was broken then I bought the car.
I think the electric mirrors where easyer to put in because I did not have to cut a hole for the joy stick on the manuals. I just tucked the electric plug inside the mirror.
I just opened up the 3 stock holes to mount the mirror
here is a bad pic.
New pics coming

so they are a direct bolt on after openning the holes?? or do I need to cut the outside plastic???

I'd like to do this to my 92 vx???

 

i would like to see a close up like that last pic, but of the outside.

 

Of my pic?

 

yep

i wanna see how well it lines up

thanks

Here is the mounted mirror

Here is a pic of the 2 holes I had to open up these holes are for the cover plate clips

Here is the back of the modified mirror note this is a electric mirror and the plug is tucked inside and wraped in duck tape

thanks
that looks good, i assume you need to use 2 door/3 door mirrors.

 

I used 2 door on HB

 

what do you mean modified mirrors??? what did you do to them....I'm under the asumption that all that has to be modd'd is the door???

 

I used electric mirrors that have a plug on them for the electrical harness you have to tuck the plug inside the mirror or cut another hole in the door to make it fit I modified the mirror insted of cutting a hole in the door

 

sweet...I'm going to look for some and throw them on....thanks bro....I'l post pics later...hahah

 

Thanks for the illustrations man, appreciate it. Good Tech stuff.

 

rolow:

how is the view out of these? just as good as stock?

 

stock vs stock...enough said bro!!

 

I don't think there was any differance.

 

nice pics, not that i would ever want to do that, but i always wondered how to do it. nice job.

 

Found me a set of 97 hatch mirrors.....would these work??? any ideas.....well I got them for free...so I'll see.......

Sidenote....these are the manual mirror with the interior ****....I'm hoping the **** lines up too that would complete the look...

 

I am all most 100% positive that the **** wont line up.

but I hope it does good luck

 

I hope I got the right pic

In this pic you can see where the **** is supposed to go thru the door and is now used as a mounting point for the mirror itself.
Also to the bottom left of the same washer you can see the hole where the electric plug is suposed to be
I would think that the **** would use the same hole
