anything will fit any car with modifications done... as to the closest fit, 94-97? accord mirros are the closest frame/form of our 8g's... 7g mirrors can PROBABLY fit but not as close as the accord mirrors will... i have accord m3 mirrors (soon to be jdm power folding :twisted: ) on my G and just drilled new holes for the mirrors and they sit as OEM as u can get em!!!!

Ractive makes some power folding mirrors with the led turn signal exactly like the ones pinoy (however you spell it) has. They are pretty pricey though. I think I have seen them for over $300 though. I am pretty sure you can get them a lot cheaper through a Ractive distributor though.

if you try a[size=24]<span style='color:red'> search</span> you'll find tutorials.

but depending on what brand mirror and the style and what car it comes from, there might be a slight variation on install.

on my ganador style mirrors i had to remove the studs on the mirrors and use screws. then run wires for my turn signal and parking light

on my folding mirrors, i had to drill, tap, grind, find bolts, run wires for the turn signal, wires for the power folding blah blah blah.

installing something that wasn't made for your car isn't a rocket science and no tutorial can tell you exactly how to do it.

if you can find a 7g wiring diagram you might want to check it out. i can't get my hands on it but there might be significantly less wiring to do since mitsu sometimes likes to use the same connectiors...

i don't have an accord so i can't tell you how fitment is like. haven't had mine long enough so i can't tell you how good they are in the long run. can't really say they're good just yet but i'll tell you that they work. one thing i did notice about the mirrors is with the sidemarkers and an electrical issue with them

installation is a bitch. i'll tell you that. it took me about 4 hours to install mine and thats cuz i had a friend help me out to make things quicker.

a few members have contacted me about getting them a set and modifying them so not only do they fit way better but also so that they are street legal.
