So my driver's side side mirror got busted off last winter. Boston's Back Bay + snow removal = riding around with no side mirror for 6 months!

I wanted folding mirrors so this doesn't happen again, but unwilling to shell out $150 per mirror at the Honda stealership (not to mention having to repaint the mirror!).

So began my quest to find folding mirrors. Not motorized, though, I'm not that lazy. I found TONS of sites selling mirrors, some questionable some not. Then I found Carpartswholesale, which is basically an Ebay company.

I called them, and I give them an A+ for customer assistance. I just told them I have a hybrid (I have an 02 lx 4-dr). They were excellent, providing me with a tracking number and everything.

When I got them, they were a perfect fit. They come painted shiny jet black and the wiring pluged in just like stock. The electric servo/motor which moves the mirror is a little noisier than stock, but I really don't care. All told: $150 + change for both mirrors shipped.

Out with the old... (see DIY section for side mirror removal)


In with the new, open

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for parts. Cheers--

yeah, it's a great deal. honda was going to charge me almost the same price for the stock mirror!

I was a bit nervous of the electrical plug, but it fit just like stock.

Now I just gotta get all my black trim around the doors to be as shiny as the mirror!
