Please give some feedbacks to my Civic with UKDM tails and folding mirrors
I recently got my UKDM spec folding side mirrors for my 01 EX coupe and here are some pictures of my car. Please hit me some feedbacks no matter if there is any complaint! Thanks guys!!!
This picture was taken when I was back to Fremont around middle of last December. I gave my car a fully detailed wash includes the first wash with Dawn, second wash with Meguire's soup, and a JDM wax (lol bought from a store in Japan town) designed for black cars. This spent me about 2 hours, and it is definitely worth it to do! By the way the EK9 hatch next to my civic is my brother's CX with SI motor, power steering, cluster, and rear disc conversion. It is really fast with a 160HP engine in a hatch that weighs about 2400lbs. (No A/C...Yes I know it turns to a nightmare when summer comes!!!) Will become JDM look and painted to champion white soon!

This picture was taken right after my stock mirrors were replaced with UKDM folding mirrors. the mirrors definitely looks really unique and very JDM! To me I don't think these are pricey consider they are genuine OEM imported from United Kingdom, the mirrors are already painted with factory paint, the heated mirror function, the risk of getting mirrors knocked off, and the unique look they provide. The only weak point about these mirrors are they are designed for RHD cars in UK or Japan so it's kinda dangerous. (The cars looks closer than they appear in your driver side mirror instead of the stock passnger side mirror.) Took me about 30 minutes to install, and it was perfect fitment since it is genuine OEM parts.

Here is the picture of the mirror when it's folded. It's a really good design but I don't know why Honda here in U.S wanted to save some cost by not making folding type mirrors.

Another picture of the mirror. You should be able to tell that the mirror looked weird from the picture. You can really see the cars on your right, instead you'll see whoever sits on the passenger seat.

Here is the picture after I installed the blue tinted mirrors on my folding mirrors and now they look much more luxury and safe to me! I'm able to see cars from both sides because they are wide angle mirrors. These blue tinted mirrors performs really well when it's rainning or when there was a jeep with high beam behind you at night.

Here are my UKDM taillights with clear lense, and I think it looks really unique and also legal with amber bulbs inside. I like these much more than 2004 taillights, especially when I got them as a steal for $200!!! 10 minutes to install, and also perfect fitment. Notice the DIY RS sign instead of my EX sign? I don't like the ones from JDM ferio RS so I just DIY my own. Please don't tell me that "Why have you done that? There is no JDM RS coupe!" I know there is no RS coupe, but I know there is also no stock civics with angel eyes or altezza tails. I did this to match my JDM RS front grill so please don't laugh at me...

Picture of my 2004 EX wheels&tires, an optional wheel in Japan for Civic Ferio. Notice the mess up on the fender? SPECIAL THANKS TO SOME DUDE FROM DE ANZA COLLEGE!!! Never park at lot B! Don't blame on me for not warning you if anything happened to your civic LOL! By the way I'm looking for stock left fender in factory painted Night Hawk Black Pearl with no damage because of this reason. If you replaced yours with aftermarket ones please let me know, I don't mind getting both sides from you if you are selling both sides!!!

This picture was taken about 1 and half year ago when I still had my 17" Racing Hart C2 3 piece wheels. I loved these wheels, but now I'll just have Honda wheels on.

Ok I guess that's about it as I didn't have a chance to give my civic a nice wash again and take some more pictures. Now I'll list what I have done to my babe and what I expect to do in the future. My car comes with a spoiler and that is about it, everything else was installed after the car was purchased. Again I really appreciate if you have any comments about my car, and no matter if it's a complaint since it would help me on what to do next!=) Thanks!!!

I sold these RH C2 because the road condition here around UCSD is terrible and I don't want to take the risk of benting the wheels. I'll definitely lower my car if I have enough budget! Thanks for reminding me!=)
