So I traded my truck for a 98 civic. The truck was in great shape just had a LOT of miles on it and this kid wanted to trade so i did.


Car outside wise needs work. Front bumper broken and the rear bumper needs work but thats another story.




Ok he had those fake ricer side mirros on it. Well I bought both OEM ones from a forum member on here and I just installed the passenger side and I noticed a sizable gap between the mirror and the door on the outside. Now I am wondering if thats suppose to be there and he just cut the weather stripping piece to fit in the ricer ones or if the mirrors I bought are the wrong ones.

Just wondering if someone could take a picture of their side mirros so i could see the gaps and fitment when the door is closed.


If it matters mine is a 1998 civic ex coupe. Thanks

I can snap one tomorrow, but my mirrors sit flush. I had a JCW one on there and found an OEM replacement. The former didn't sit on there all the way and wasn't painted. Annoyed the hell outta me.

I will take a few picutres tomorrow before i head to work

I just put the drivers side on and its the same way.....I wonder if the sedan mirrors are different than the coupes?

I dont remember if the parts car these came off of was a sedan or coupe.

Does anyone know if the side mirrors are the same on the coupe and the sedan?



Im thinking that might be the problem.



EDIT-just looked on autzon and the 4 door and 2 door have the same model number for side mirrors so that should be the issue

they are definately different and you will have that gap problem if you get the sedan mirrors for a coupe. you need coupe mirrors.

Now I just hope that I can find some cheap coupe mirrors and sell these

ebay may be your best bet or check to see if you can trade or sell those to someone who owns a sedan.
