Uhm... maybe Accord? That's what an 8g'er used on his...

You want just replacement or like M3 style?

Those sure look like they'd fit... might be a bit small but you can just make a bracket er something.

Do you have power or manual side mirrors?
Mine are power and those are like $150 so I never tried them out.

BTW, I beleive the 8g belonged to Br8knex or BRKNNX er something like that "Braking Necks" I beleive. you know who I mean.. :wink: His car is fuckin dope!

i'd take a copy of the base and the bolt pattern of the mirrors. then i'd hit up the junk yard and just start looking around. find somethign thats close. if the mirror is cheap, buy it and teest fit it. maybe even use it as a temporary. then get the m3 mirros for that car.

Switching from power to manual mirrors would require some addition parts that us manual mirror owners have. There's a doohicky that you move to adjust the mirrors, so you'll have to get that.

it is alot of work but i'd rather waste like 20 dollars on a POS mirror and ruin it than ruin a good set of m3 mirros and then find out they won't fit ur car lol

the conversion from power to power is fairly easy. even if the colors don't match. to move the mirrors there aer 4 wires. 2 wires are for left and right and 2 wires are for up and down.

u guys do know that 2g eclipse mirrors fit and have the same bolt pattern as the galant, it has been done before, just some gaps that have to be filled with black epoxy nothing big to talk about
