I have a 98 civic ex which is black and I am looking to get spoon type mirrors.
Could I get your guys opinions on these:

Mirrors

 

I'm not really diggin' the CF, but besides that they look good.

 

Yeah, the carbon fiber kind of looks awkward on a street mirror. The only mirrors that look good in carbon fiber are the GT3-style mirrors, and I wouldn't put them on a street car for the fact that you have about as much visibility through them as you do a sportbike's mirrors. And that's not much.

Also, from what I've read, there are usually visibility and adjustment problems with spoon and spoon-style mirrors. There's a fix for the adjustment problem (you have to take the mirror apart), but you're still dealing with a smaller-than-stock mirror, so you're going to give up some visibility.

 

if you need new mirrors get them
if youre stock ones are fine then save the money for something else

 

i have the tiny mirros on my car (painted) and visibility is greatly diminished. also, drivers side mirror bracket is broken causing the lens to droop so its pretty fragile. maybe you'll have better luck tho.

 

also if you decide not to get these but get a different aftermarket mirror DO NOT get the M3 style ones they are ugly and you cant see very well and if you try to adjust them to where its easier to see they can break (pretty easily)

 

I haven't had a problem with mine, I actually didn't give up anything. I just noticed that the mirror in them make everything look a little smaller but that's the only complaints I'd say. I don't think I'd get the CF ones cause they're too flashy, I just have regular black ones I picked up for like 35 bucks on ebay. Your choice though.

 

I just thought about getting the cf ones so i wouldnt have to get them painted a pearl black like my car. I'm rethinking it though now. Haha.

 

I think they look half-decent (<--- that's code for "they were the cheapest things I could find after some douche kicked my mirrors off while trying to break into my car to steal that whole bunch of absolutely nothing I had in there.")

idk i never liked them on my hatch and i had them painted the same
lol i had the same headlights too

my stock ones flapped in the wind so i replaced them with "the cheapest things i could find" and i actually went back to stock ones i bought off someone on here a few months later
