I bought some "BMW" style M3 (I don't even think any M3 even has these) side mirrors because they were cheaper for two than replacing one with genuine Honda mirrors.

These are the ones I got



I'm not asking about style because I bet no one is going to think they're slick, or trendy, or whatever. I just want to know if anyone has bought these, what they think, how hard the wiring was (for both power mirror feature, and for LED operation). Also, how was fitment?

Thanks.

 

sorry but...I doubt most people on this board would use those. I have heard that the feel of them is cheap.

 

Here's a cut and paste from my LJ about WHY I'm replacing the mirror:

So I was on Chicot Rd. going to school this morning, I woke up late and so I was trying to speed my way there. This older ghetto sled car (unknown model, goddamnit!) was in front of me doing 35, I tried to pass him on the bridge twice and both times he swerved in my lane. So I rode his ass, honked, flashed lights (tried to make it look like I was trying to get to the hospital so he'd pull over or something) and flipped me off so I flipped him off and we got to the 4 lane part on Chicot and he threw a rock at my car and broke a huge hole in my mirror (not the glass part, the opposite side where it's pained the color of my car), i figured he hit my door so I wasn't that messed up about it (because I was late for class, I HAD to get to class), so I get there and I notice there's a huge hole in the mirror. I was so pissed. . . I should've followed him, I should've done something period because he threw something at my car. . . I was late and in a hurry. I know what kind of car it is, and I know the dude lives in East End. I will find him and I will make sure his car never runs again.

 

i wanna see a pic of them on your car when u get one

 

No problem. When I have them installed I'll have them and my TYC paintable bezel (on my tails) painted the car color. I'm starting to warm up to the idea of having them, they're kinda cool and I'm putting a kit on this summer (undecided, I can't find any front bumpers that are ABS except the R34(R33?) and the WW lip kit) so they'll be decently cool. I'd like to replace the LEDs with purple, though. . . Oh well, they're just parking signals.

I had these options:

1.) Do nothing (yeah right!)
2.) Pay Bale Honda (local dealer) $150.60 for a new mirror, painted, not installed.
3.) Buy M3 mirrors for $80 shipped (The non-power ones were like $40, I like power), get them painted and installed for less than what ONE would've costed from Bale Honda
4.) Keep looking on eBay for a coupe EX (power) mirror

Plus, if I don't like them after I get them installed, I'll sell them after I can find a coupe mirror. In the end, it's a win/win situation, more or less. . . Once I find that bastard.

 

I understand....just as long as it wasn't your first choice

 

Man.....If someone did that to me, i dont care if i was on my way to a funeral.
I would of made him stop and pulled him out through the drivers window and beat him with my sideview mirror. OR just ram his head into the dent the left.
