Talking Strange taillights and some folding mirrors for the Coupe...

As I was looking through the international Honda sites looking for strange models I came across Germany's Honda site... http://www.honda.de/ [EDIT!]
Just out of curiosity I click to see the Civic Coupé (much sexier than just saying Coupe... ) and... whoa, wtf?

They have some strange, non-American taillights (I've heard some people saying red and white only makes it look American-ish, but I don't care, I like 'em the way they are! That's called USDM...)
Some pics of the taillights (plus the bumper with a red reflector!):




Close-up:



After a little while I noticed something even stranger...
Folding mirrors. Now THAT'S something I want...
Although it would be nice if they were like the JDM ones, powerfolding. Just a thought.
Here's some pics.






What do you guys think of these non-USDM things?
I think they're sexy...

Oh! Just noticed... are the headlights clear? I'm not that used to noticing that... (yes, the bulbs aren't but the headlight's corner thing looks non-amberish...)

I know in Europe that you cannot have red turn signals in the rear, so that's why the tails a bit different.

Oh, I see.
Eurpoe has some strict rules when it comes to cars.
If you notice new European cars... they come with a longer nose.
It's for helping reduce killing people walking on roads ...

Heat is optional or obligatory?
Doesn't snow that much here in the Caribbean, you know..

the reflector is for foggy conditions...in europe it tends to get really foggy all the time and its hard to see anything above 3 feet from the ground...thats why "fog" lights are placed low and yellow is a peircing color so it also is a welcomed choice

I find my heated mirrors work the best in the rain, they dry off all those beads of water and give me a better view.

I still like my 1.7EL - CDM (Canadian Domestic Market)... hehe ... I bought mine in December of 2000, when the 7thgen first came out. Back then it was only slightly more than the fully loaded civic - and had the american EX (127hp) engine. Back then if you wanted the civic sedan you were stuck with the base (115hp) engine.

you can just paint the amber piece chrome to match your headlights. Someone on the site has already done it.

I got a set of folding mirrors for coupe in nhbp available for sale. They will directly bolt on and support heated function. (Available in Canada models, and the switch is the only thing you need if you are in U.S.) PM me if anyone is interested in these.
