I believe 95-98'ish Accord Sedan mirrors are somewhat close. If I remember, G-Spot realized this years ago.

94-97 accord sedan mirrors and a bunch of us figured this out before GSPOT even owned a galant. the bases are very close but the hole pattern is a little different so new holes might have to be drilled in behind the sail panels but the base profile is very close; there is a slight curve on the leading edge of the galant window that the accord does not have but it is not super noticeable:

Alright, I wasn't sure. I just remember him having them at some point in time. That's what I get for being cosmetically ignorant :-p

mine are motorized. they fold close to the car when i arm my alarm (all my windows and sunroof close on arm as well). look at the 2 pics i posted: in the top pic they are open, in the bottom pic they are folded.

the kind that u want (like what you posted in your original post) are called M3 style since they are copies of BMW M3 mirrors. mine are a different style but i don't think they make mine anymore.

u won't find any for the 8G because they don't make any for the 8G. look for 94-97 accord sedan then you will have to modify them slightly to fit.

i ran new wires through the door jambs up to through the fenders to the front corners for signal blinkers (on both sides) and into the cabin to a switch between the mirror and fog light switches on the dash for the power fold functions and used the stock wiring harness in each door for the power aiming functions.
