Any mirrors to fit 8G except OEM/USDM?

[Jules]

I want to find out if there are any mirrors to fit the 8G except the US original mirrors, the OEM ones and the ganadors from Japan??? Any experiences with custom mirrors or any ways to get some?

[spdracr]

u can fit the honda accrod mirrors, i believe 94 - 97 with minor modifications and also we have the jdm mirrors from japan like the ones in my signature

[littlerick]

yes, 94 to 97 accord fit fairly easy when i had a 95 accord and my galant i tried it out. it didnt look too bad

[Censee]

yea.. they fit nicely..the omes i have on my car are for a 95 accord

well the jdm mirrors are the ones used on european Gs anyway. a friend of mine wanted to put led sidemarker lights onto the mirrors but because of the electrics and stuff it wont fit...he has the e-folding and e-adjustable ones...so instead he is considering to get other mirrors for his G. i do have the ganadors on my G but he doesnt want to spend this much and he isnt much into the honda accord mirrors...so i guess there is nothing more as a choice.

@Censee: how did you make yours look like that? is that a special mirror kit or what? have only seen such in the US but never in europe...

The mirrors that Censee has are not OEM Accord mirrors, they are custom mirrors made for the 94-97 Accord. If you look around, there are a few different aftermarket styles made for the 94-97 Accord.

So unless you have difficulty shipping it to your country it shouldn't be that hard to find these online. Plus most cost under $50 USD unless you like the CF race mirrors which tends to cost $150+

ok so for the ones who got accord mirrors on their Gs:

did u guys need to do any modification?

i have power folding mirrors for the accord. they had to be modified to fit including running new wires for the signals and folding functions (USDM mirrors do not require or include this wiring), grinding the mounting bases to fit flush to the car, drilling new holes in the door sail panel and using new mounting hardware (reverse of the OEM using screws into the mirror not nuts onto the studs of the mirror). i also custom mounted 194 sockets (amber 194 LEDs) in place of the original blue LED units. additionally the mirrors automatically fold when the alarm is armed and unfold when dissarmed (manual folding/aiming operation at any time is possible through a stock switch and additional folding switch in the stock locations inside the car).

here is what they look like:

wow pretty awesome...so in any case mods are necessary..whether i take ebay mirrors to fit the accord or the stock ones by honda, right?

[Reelax]

u will need to mod any accord mirror since the sail shape will be "close" to fitting but not perfect. the mounting surface will not be perfectly flush w/o modification and the motor wiring is different as well.

ok then...thanks for all the info!
