OK so someone decided to crack my mirror when my car was parked so i ordered these m3 mirrors cus they were cheaper then to just replace the one stock. So im looking at them i have my stocks off but the mounting plate sticks WAY out. The studs for the bolts (from the stock ones) seem rather long... Is it standard procedure to modify this a little or did i get the wrong thing the plate otherwise looks like it matches perfectly

 

I had to cut those mounting holes down cause they did stick out way far. I also had to use screws cause the bolts won't hold the plastic sail pieces on right. It was a pain in the ass, but they've sayed on for over a year now.

Hope it helps.

 

thanks man for the advise yeah i just heated up a knife and cus them down and out the bold/screw thingys from the stocks in those posts and they are on now...

the only thing i need now is the little inside cover that doesnt have a big hole in it now :-P

 

Here's what I did:


I cut some styrofoam to fit that hole perfectly and then glued it in there. Then I just covered them with tweed.

Custom interior. :chuckles:

 

otherwise the panels off of an EX which has motorized mirrors would proly do yah.

 

i actaully am going to put a tweeter there when i get my component speakers....

 

oh.thats right they have tweeters.

i was just thinking about the mirrors i just bought, theyre from the island, so the panel they come with is just a blank.

btw, if anyone searches out this thread 5TH GEN MIRRORS DO NOT FIT A 6TH GEN!!! argh!

unless you have a dremel tool, a sander, a drill, and a cutting wheel...
