**pinoyesv6** · 06-26-2003, 08:17 PM

looks good. i'd keep it

nrgizeman · 06-26-2003, 08:18 PM

it sure looks custom. however i dont like the uneven fit. looks too getto for me.

gost2002es · 06-26-2003, 08:19 PM

that's why i want to go back, i don't like the "factory" look. you know how it's smooth and shit.

couldn't u just modify the base, like shave or cut it down so it sits flush?

gost2002es · 06-26-2003, 08:22 PM

Nah, cause if i sanded the top part down it wouldnt be straight from the bottom and probably look silly.

**HeadAche** · 06-26-2003, 08:50 PM

I say leave them, i like they way they look, even if they are kinda uneven and it doesnt look that bad anywayz..

**mrjaydeeone** · 06-27-2003, 01:14 AM

I say keep em too

why can't you move them a bit further back. then it will sit in, and you can deal with the gap probably easier than shaving down the ridge.

Shit looks hot man.

i dont know what the hell you did to get them to fit like that. mine fit perfectly after drilling three new holes. heres what i did. first after removing the stock mirror i lined up the honda bracket with the gasket and saw where i had to cut the gasket to make it sit properly the way i wanted it to, then i took the honda bracket and matched it up with the gasket being the gasket is sized and fitted correctly already to make sure i cut correctly, took the bracket and drilled three piolit holes through the bracket where the screws would go, stright through, so now i have a guide for my new holes to drill in the frame. i then set the bracket properly against the door and drilled through the holes the i made
in the front of the bracket stright through the screw holes stright through the frame(i used a 1/8? or a 1/4? bit i dont remember exactly try 1/8 first) now i have three new holes in the frame for the bracket. screwed the bracket to the miorror screwed the full set up to the frame and the mirror was on. now for the screw cover on the inside of the door i had to put 2 small screws stright through at the top and the bottom to hold it on cuz the existing hole that were there are in the way on the new screws and thats it put the cover on and ur done......the wireing i have yet to figure out...i have non powered with blue l.e.d. turn signal 3 wires blue black and white....... i hope this helps atleast 1 person because i have just realized im late for work ...........damm lol

I am interested too!

Did anyone else try... or did the member fix his?

i say keep em man...its not a big deal,,,,they look fine to me...remember they dont make it for our cars so its not gonna fit 100% perfect.....i have aftermarket mirrors from a 95 accord too,and i ran into the same problem as u,,maybe its cuz the accord swerves out at the top...mine are bomex mirrors but they are for the same car as ures 94-97 accord but i dont think its a big deal..keep em your M3 mirrors they look tight...take a look and see what im talking about the top swerving out.. http://community.webshots.com/photo/727740.../88907308cYxKik
