i say just buy new m3 mirrors and paint those bc if you do then you'd just be wasting money. i got a lx and im gonna buy new ones anyway.

get them at JDM.

"JDM" folding mirrors don't exist for our cars. This is more true if you have a coupe: the coupe is not offered in the Japanese Domestic Market, "JDM".

You may be able to find folding OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) mirrors from Honda of Canada and European Honda if you have a coupe.

If you have a sedan, I believe the Hybrid Civic is offered with folding mirrors.

Actually, the ones that Hondawerx carry are from the UK version of the COUPE.

It's obvious that 2k1lxcoupe has a coupe, both by his name and pics in his "my ride" section.

If $410 is too much (to most people, it is), I'd recommend painting yours or getting aftermarket (M3 knockoffs) mirrors. The M3's are known to be smaller than stock and some don't like them for that fact. You can find them powered or unpowered on eBay.

$410 is ludacrous but I wouldn't know where else to get them. if the 2004 Civics don't come with them, then they probably won't be added to the 2005s. the 8th gens will probably come standard with them. I've been saving up forever for these folding mirrors.

yep. I've noticed that the m3s were smaller and not only that. They don't stick straight out horizontally. they sort of angle up, like how a dog's ears are when it hears something. Not very pretty.
