Default Ebay TYC Spoon Knock-offs: pics and how do i install manual adjuster? anyone? non 56k friendly

well here's what my black ones looked like installed off ebay the other day, i have other pics but can't get at them right now due to backup....

well i have a question too... you have to swap the oem adjustment ****, ect.... or another vehicles **** into there... but there's no instructions on how to do it, the pivot for the mirror is completely different from the honda one..... damnit, looks like i'll be adjusting by rolling the window down and pushing on the mirror glass for now hehehe

oh wow, i didn't know that's what those bases would look like installed. you might wanna try ditchin the base and making your own flat base.
Here's my 1/2 butt attempt with a screwdriver and a dremel. I made it in my dorm room.
I won't pic *****...too much. here's my post on mine
Here's my TYC w/out their base.

my lil info on how i did it in the link.

But i'm sure it was nice to just bolt it on there.

here's the reply i got from tyc....

Dear James,

In regards to our mirrors, they must be manually adjusted, by actually
pushing on the glass. When installing our mirrors, you will lose the
adjustment arm from the factory mirrors, leaving you a hole. If you
have any questions, please let me know. Thank you.

Looks like good customer feedback.

civic hatch specific, they may have crx ones but i know the 2 aren't the same... there still nice mirrors just need the adjustment arms and they'd be well worth the $

Yeh, Jeff was the one that responded to my emails asking if I could buy the ef bases seperately, but he politely said no.
As far as being pricey, I don't know what you guys paid, but mine were only $30.00 from one of the sites listed in my previously posted link.
