Side View Mirrors

Is it legal to totally shave your sideview mirrors? Attached is a pic of a 7thgen at NOPI Nationals with his shaved. What do ya'll think

PS. I live in SC, if that matters.

Oh that’s smart. Let’s eliminate 98% of all the viewable light emanating from the headlights. Then let us reduce rearward visibility by 75%. I don’t care if its illegal, that guy should be drug out into the street and shot... in the lower abdomen.

up here in CT it's legal to shave your passenger side view mirror but it is required to have your driver's side mirror on, I think the same would apply in SC.

Do ya'll think that would be cool to do? Or just another lame accent. I thought it was really subtle. I love the color and everything about the car.

That's illegal. There needs to be at least the driver's side mirror.

Hmm... Non-functional modifications suck.

I got headlights like his, but not painted, and the sidemarker is visible, you think that looks alright?

Here is a pic of my car at NOPI Nationals. I had only gotten the car 1 week before I went to Atlanta. The only reasons that I entered it in the show was to get in 2 hours earlier than spectators and it's cheaper to enter you car in the show and bring your friend as a passenger than to buy 2 spectator passes.

Next year will be better.



I know. a Little off topic of the thread, But IT"S MY THREAD.

The blue civic is tight. I reallly like it.

IT is just a show car. He probably did it to make the lines look better. You can also see he molded his body kit to the car so i think he is trying to get clean lines so without the mirrors, it makes the lines look a little better. I don't know tho.

Sure you can shave your mirrors if you wanna replace em with small cameras instead some of the newer BMW's have an option for that but you're lookin at like 1000 for a good system. We made em at the place I used to work; If you're really considering it I could try and see what kind of price I could get you.

What I had been thinking about doing was replacing my rearview mirror with a tv then have an infrared camera pointing out the back of the car. Is this what you are talking about?

I think the car looks TIGHT! I really like how his Octane front is molded to the fenders...really clean. And for some odd reason, I really like the color. How come there are these random "show" 7th Gens out there, but they dun join the site?!
