Well nobody is really answering his real question......
Yea installation is fairly easy. To me, the hardest part would be removing the stock mirror cuz the bolts are a little hard to reach (unless you remove the wholeeeee door panel). Wiring isn't that bad...just have to tap it into the signal wire.

Nope not here, they cost too much ( money to be saved for other things), you can they are real easy to install. What is the question? Do you need to mount them, wire up the signals or power mirrors?
I had one of those E-bay "M3 style mirrors". **** sucks man. Mirror is so small that you can't even see your blind spot, nor can you adjust it bcs it only goes to certain angle and thats it.
The best mirrors for our cars are stock ones. On those babies you can see 3 lanes on each side of the mirror. Dont compromise visibility for the "M3 style looks". It's bulllshit

Installation is easy took me like 30 minutes, including the time to take off the door panel. I think they work great, i can fully adjust them as well as the stock ones, I can see just as much as my blind spot as before. Yeah they are what 25% smaller then stock so you have to deal with that. I do feel they are kinda rice, but hey its my car, and I like it, that all that matters, its your car, do what you want. Its all on personal preference.
i installed a set of M3 style mirrors on my friends lx a couple of weeks ago and they are real ez. the hardest part was wiring up the mirrors cause the instructions are crap. the motors only move at an angle which is kinda stupid, and you cant see anything in them cause they are so damn small, but other wize its all reall ez. hooking up the blinker is also fairly ez.
installatoin isn't that hard. only hard part for me is the wiring. and yea...the blind spots ARE bigger but it isn't all that bad. my motorized one moves in all directions..so i dunno what kind you had Horatio. and yes, these mirrors can be painted.

i got em for 60 bucks, and there pretty nice actually better then stock. My whole car is white except my stupid side mirrors so it was new side mirrors or a paint job on the stock ones.
I was looking in to getting a pair of these, but I guess it is based on preference. I only saw them on ebay a few times, but now I have changed my mind. I saw them on a Civic and they are noticeably smaller than stock. They just don't look good personally. Just my two cents.
