Default Poll: Does anyone actually LIKE the stock 96-00 mirrors?

I've always LOVED mine. I don't see the need to ever get different ones.

Stock = the best IMO.

I agree. I see nothing wrong with the stock ones at all and have yet to see an aftermarket one that I didn't think looked cheesy.

I think they look funny. Aren't they referred to as "elephant ears" or something like that??

i think they look great, but i don't like the fact that you can't fold them inward nor outwards. sometimes i have to park in very narrow spaces or on the side of the street, and folding the mirror in (like i do in my other car) can sometimes mean the difference between a whole mirror and a busted one. i like how civics for other markets (such as latin america) come with foldable mirrors... stylewise i like the ones i've got right now, it's just a functional problem

I have no problem with the stock mirrors. The only other mirrors I would consider getting are the CTR mirrors.

That was the first thing I did to my new car.. remove them.

They are the worst part of the car.

Theyre not the best, but stocks do the trick.
I put paint matched mirrors on mine.

I like the jdm folding mirrors much better...but I cant really justify the cost for extra bling.

I had an associate who had 92-95 civic mirrors on his ek, and it wasnt bad looking.
I bet a quite a few people here would cry rice, though.

99-00 Acura EL came with those.
Mine is 98 and came with Civic ones. I don't mind them but folding one is handy sometimes.
