Help w\ Hondawerx UKDM Folding Mirrors
I just got my folding mirrors from Hondawerx and they bolt on pretty easily.
One thing that annoys me is that the left mirror is too "close" and the right mirror is too "far" hence it limits the adjustments of the mirrors cuz i hit the limit and its still not in place(left side is still too close and right side is still too far)...this is due to the fact that UKDM cars are RHD...
i don't know if i made myself clear enough but i'm sure that the owners of such mirrors will understand what i'm saying...
my question is : can i do something to correct this? what did you guys do? or did you just leave it like that and live with it???
thx

Rep Power: 0 Hey buddy
I don't have UK mirrors YET but I'm sure that I can answer your questions. Yes the reason of the weird view of the mirrors are because it is RHD in Japan and U.K. You can definitely do something to correct the problem that is to purchase a pair of side mirrors for LHD which is from Hong Kong or Taiwan as well. Civicsky has them avalible for $150 shipped and I think it's a good price to go with. After you got them you just simply swap the mirrors and it would look normal just like LHD. You can also live with the current situation since for safety reason you should always turn and look back before changing lanes. By the way can you pm me and let me know how much you got for these mirrors? Hope the information helps!

I get them from Taiwan where cars are LHR. I have them for just a couple days and I am alright with them. They are power-folding mirrors too. 
How is the paint job? I paint them myself! hahahaa Please don't ask me about the seat covers.

Rep Power: 0 Yes, those power folding mirrors are for 4 door Civic only. About the Si mirrors, I don't think they fit on coupes because of the vary steepness of the windshield. Alex1 is selling his true JDM mirrors too! PM him.

Rep Power: 0 Yup! Hybrid ones would fit sedans since they are the same Civic except the engine. I like the pair I have maybe because mine are lower prices than the OEM ones. Plus, mine are self-retracted mirrors. 
hehehe jk
