Default m3 mirrors

i really like the m3 mirrors. i was thinking about getting some but i dont know. how hard are mirrors to put on a 00 civic? and i want the ones with the turn signals too. i was looking on ebay and found some cheap ones for like $45 but they probably wouldnt fit worth a ****. should i just save and buy a name brand?

i was thining about getting them a wile ago..never did, but they do look nice, and they should be a almost perfect fit because its made from ABS plastic, its not like its fiberglass or somthing..and the mirrors are VERY easy to take off and put on, you could probably do both mirrors in about 5 minits, just pull the cover off were the mirror is,on the inside..theres 3 bolt that hold the mirror to the door..take thos of and your done!

If you're looking at the M3s w/ turn signals, as long as you have some basic wiring skills, you'll be okay. I had a set when I first got my car, and when I opened up the box to install them, there was no harness (I have power mirrors), just 4 wires: 3 for the mirror and one for the turn signal light. I had to do some cutting and splicing into the factory harness to install them; however, I can't really say all m3 mirrors are like that. But anyways, you can have it set up to blink or always be on or whatever. Mine were cheapies, but they did fit perfectly. No probs @ all....I just got rid of them because I decided I didn't like the turn signal part of them, but that's just me.

Considering that they're just mirrors, it shouldn't be too expensive. Couldn't give you a price, though. When I had my Eclipse GT, I only paid 50 bux to have both fenders painted, but they were already off of the car. Truthfully, I think you should buy the paint and do them yourself.

dude i have the m3 mirrors with the turn signals and they also have a constant blue led... here;s the thing. they have 6 bulbs, 3 are the amber signals, and the others are the constant blue. if one bulb goes out then they ALL GO OUT!, now my right side is out and i can't find the right bulb's for ****... i found some bulbs that fit and put them in and they burnt oout in less than5 seconds... if you get them i recomend you ask for an extra set of bulbs if not, get them at your own risk and since your getting them on ebay ALL THE LUCK TO YOU!
