I like the mirrors, but why did you only paint the heads? I think that only the heads painted looks good on some cars, but civics arent one of them.
But those are amazing looking mirrors either way

Thanks for all the comments everyone, much appreciated. The mirrors are UK spec mirrors from UK Honda. The heads were only painted silver, since that's how the stock euro civic mirrors are. I didn't paint them they came painted like that straight from the UK Honda factory. They aren't auto-folding, but I do like the look compared to the U.S., I especially like that I don't have to worry too much about people walking by in the mall parking lot and hitting them off because they parked too close (happened to me before). Also, since they're UK spec Honda mirrors, they are heated. I haven't tested yet since I haven't figured out how to connect the 2 extra pins in the socket (U.S. mirrors only have 3 while UK has 5). If anybody knows how to do this let me know. Oh yeah, both left and right mirrors are magnified mirrors (i.e., objects appear closer, etc... - but minus the actual words).

I paid a pretty penny, which I'm sure most aren't willing to pay, but I like them. Are you ready...?

$430 total (taxes, customs, export/import fees since its from the UK)

I know, freakin' expensive and most would use it towards other things, but I really wanted folding side mirrors that looked like it was meant for our cars. The only one I could find were these, Honda Europe's civic mirrors.
