Will RSX mirrors fit on civics?

Hi, the question is asked in the title

Will RSX side mirrors fit on our 7th gen coupe civics (2001+)?

I've broken 3 times my side mirror because its not foldable. I'm now looking for a way to get some which fold. www.hondawerx.com sells some folding mirrors straight from the UK. But it's so damn expensive! 415$US + all the fees you can imagine (i'm from canada).

Thx

If your mirror are mysteriously melting
How do you know foldable mirrors will solve the problem
Maybe you have a meraculus mirror munching monster ??

You need to do some work to fit the rsx mirror on the 7th gen. But yeah, you could do it. Make sure you post a DIY

Do realize that objects will be closer than they appear in your drivers side mirror... those crazy brits drive on the wrong side of the road .
I don't know if any of the aftermarket mirrors fold... I can't think of any that do.

Haha... I've been thinking about getting those EDM mirrors, but I never thought about that thing with the passenger mirror... Damn. I'm sure you could switch the actuall mirror plate for the USDM ones though.

You're saying that USDM mirrors are different from the CDM ones? I though they were the exact same car, except we canadians call it the Si and you americans call it EX

He is refering to the European Domestic Market EDM and since they drive on the other other side of the road that the mirrors themselves will be differnt as well ie. the reflection on the driver side will now show the objects closer

You can take the mirrors off your stock housings and switch them to normal so that the objects appear is on the passenger
