Do RSX mirrors fit on a 7thgen?

I went to the LA Auto Show today, I was checking out the RSX and I discovered that the rearview mirrors look very much like the Civic JDM folding mirrors. Does anyone know if the RSX mirrors would fit on my 03 sedan?

They are completely unpainted in black like the picture below. If you want to get the mirrors for coupe, you can always try www.hondawerx.com where sells $410 a pair.

i think they are silver becuase they were molded in silver plastic. im not sure if you want to paint the plastic finish of hte mirror since the paint will peel.

You just plug in to the existing socket for mirrors adjustment. However, you would have to feed 2 additional wires for the self-retract motor on each mirror. If you don't need the self-retract thing, they fold just like the regular folding mirrors.

hmm... That sounds interesting. Would you have to make a customized switch for them to fold or something?

Let's get someone to mod their sideview mirrors so that when you put the car in reverse, the mirrors move down automatically so that you can see where the hell you're parking.

Hey CivicSky, are your mirrors for right or left had drive? If it is for right hand drive, there could be a problem because the convex mirror is on the other side.

^^^ That's what I was thinking...

Or when I go on vacation there I could just pick some up... Does Honda Pamapanga have any lying around??? It might take a while though before I actually go there...

Or it might be just a ton easier to get aftermarket ones...
