How much do you hate your black sideview mirrors?

I don't know how much longer I can stand it... I'm also thinking about those ugly *** black door handles...

I have thought about bomex mirrors... just for the style.

And, I mean otherwise... I love my black mirrors. I got an '02, so my handles are painted.

Well, I like the contrast of my black mirrors and doorhandles against the white paint, but to each his own...

I'm planning on buying new mirrors that come painted... I'd like to get my door handles shaved eventually...

It just sort of bothers me when I see all the EX scum with their color match mirrors... haha... jk about the scum part... I've got a bit of a jealousy issue...

ah, If you're lucky, you can find some body matched mirrors for sale from members. I was lucky enough to get silver ones from another member for 50 shipped.

i don't mind the mirrors at all, i'd rather have those black than silver...well the color of the car, it's the door handles and that trunk trim piece that pissed me off...so far..the trunk trim piece is what has changed...looks much better, just need to paint the handles...

I used the Plastikote import paint to paint the door handles, rear license plate trim, and even the windshield squirters on the hood. I prefer the mirrors to be black, because it flows better with the vent visors and window tint. Once I do the headlight blackout and get the altezza grill, the silver/black theme will be complete.

BTW, the HX also has black handles, license trim and mirrors. Let's not leave out our HX brothers!

Quick trivia:
Only the EX has body colored mirrors.
LX are powered, but not painted.

LX & EX have body colored handles.(newer models anyway)

LX & EX have body colored license trim.

For more crazy, useless info, check out my DX/HX/LX/EX Differences And Similarities article or History Of The 7th Generation Civic article on my DX-R site.

I have paired the black mirrors with gloss black rims. Now it blends very well. But Im still thinking about buying the painted for $88/each from Honda.
