Aiight so I feel imbecle asking this question...

What the heck does 'Type R' means?

I'm looking for a rearview mirror since the oem of my civic is kinda small - anywhere I can find it cheap in the San Gabriel Valley (that's near Los Angeles)? More specifically a flat 270mm with blue border. I've been eyeing on this mirror made by AF Projektz - that when a cell phone rings, blue light will dance around? Is that brand any good or should I stick with Broadway? Any web site I should look into buying accessories from?

Thanks in advance

 

not sure about your mirror issue, but a type R is a model that the integra comes in (stateside). Kinda like the EX, and HX... well the Type R is the higher end performance car. They are pretty rare in the states becuse they only make a certain number of them and are too expensive to ship from Japan. They are one of the quickest naturally aspirated 4 cylinder cars on the market and are what most honda street tuners look towards. The b18 swap (integra GS-R) is the closest most people get to it though... not too different. ALOT of companies make cheap products and put type R on it to get newbies to buy their crap... so if it says Type R on it and it only cost a few bucks... stay away from it.

They make a civic Type R, but only in Europe (it's a hatchback)

i appreciate your input and feedback.

perhaps i should have been more specific. i see accessories such as the rearview mirror made by Broadway and they always have this 'Type R' logo/sticker in place. An example would be found in this link: Type R - Rear View Mirror

 

yeah, its just a "brand". Trying to make you think its used in real Type R's. If its what you want it will fit your car.

 

okay so it's just a brand - in other words it doesn't matter if i get a 'type R' mirror or not... I guess all mirrors are the same, eh?

How about on average - how much of those rearview mirror should they cost? I've looked around the malls in this area costing like $35 a piece.

Thanks!

 

exactly, just a brand. As for price im not sure, ive never checked. $20-$30 sounds about right.

 

WOW, that's a big *** mirror!

 

Don't they now have the new civic sir in canada and the new si in us?

 

canada and the US have had the the SiR (Si) since they brought it back in 99. But, the 99-00 SiR is only a coupe. All other SiR's are hatchbacks including the new model '02+ SiR (which i don't like that much).

 

I like the new, its oddly nice
