If your back window is tinted you do. Thats what the guy at the tint shop told me. My 91 Accord DX came stock with no passenger side mirror.

Dude, I don't think they even make a plate to cover the exterior of the mirror if you take it off, becuase no stock civic's come without a passenger side mirror.

Don't be all ghetto and roll around with a piece of your car missing.

Anyhoo... I believe that if you take the interior door panel off, there should only be a couple screws holding it on. Confirm this with someone who's put on aftermarket mirrors.

Well Running a Search for “gino camaro” on google only gets you a decent match on a web site written in French. So I’m assuming is mostly a Canadian term. It does sound vaguely familiar. But it sounds too much like a derogatory term. So I don’t really use it.

Yeah, older cars dont have them, I drove a few cars like that... have to either turn the shoulder or try to see out the rear view mirror to see whats happening on the right side.

just kidding, I really wouldnt recommend taking it off, you need the side mirror. The rear view mirror is garbage in terms of persepective especially in traffic. but thats my two cents.

on a serious note, if you do plan on going with your plan..... there is sort of a way to remedy the problems associated with it.... you can get a wider mirror.

You don't NEED the passenger side mirror. It's useless for driving. There is a huge blind spot in it, You still need to look off to the right. The only time I ever use that mirror is when I'm parking and I want to hug the curb. (which is everyday)

^^true, the original idea started with a picture that i saw of a ferrari? or a lambo with only the driver side mirror, it kinda gave the car a racer look, being that it wasnt EXACTLY like a ford taurus or something. isnt that what race cars are all about, functionality vs. practicality?

It's easy to take off...

1. Open the door
2. Pop off the tweeter assembly from the door (it's held on by 3 clips... so just pull but do it carefully)
3. Unplug the wires from the tweeter
4. You will see 3-4 screws. Unscrew them and the mirror should come off
5. Unplug the mirror harness.

Done

If you're going to bring back a 2 week old thread, at least say something funny.
