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.

the hardest part for me was figuring out the wires on which wire goes to what for the electric mirrors. took me about 10 minutes of trial and error.

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?

What do you guys that have eBay brand POWER mirrors think of them? Do you think the electric motor is good quality? Do you worry about the motors burning out?

Thanks guys,

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.

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.
