Actually, the HB & the CRX mirrors are the same. The 4 door mirrors aren't interchangable though.

the trim cover on the inside of the car for the mirror is different. i tried swaping one off a 90 hatch that i had on my 91 CRX si and it didn't fit right

actually, with a little file work to the 3 little holes, you can make any mirror from an 88-91 civic/crx fit any car. its not hard. kinda booty if ya ask me, but it looked fine on my car. my friend put a crx mirror on a 91 hatch, looked good, unless you got really close to it, then it only looked mostly good. i put 4 door power mirrors onto my 91 hatch, it looked and worked great, there is even a place for the little switch already in the dash. good times, all it takes a few minutes with a rounded file, easy if ya ask me, oh ,and the trim cover is different, but you can make it fit with a little cutting, i just trimmed it up and flat blacked it, couldnt tell the difference

It will fit. I only have 2 of the 3 holes screwed in but it is almost stronger than the original mirror. The reason the 3rd hole isn't in is because it was stripped out. But a little filing and it will work. I couldn't get my interior piece to fit, but I really didn't try. Good luck.

They are not the same.. 1st of all the plastic cover and bolt pattern is slightly different and the shape of the mirror also. It will fit with some small modifications but I want the original thing..
