J-body m3 Side Mirror Install
Wednesday, October 07, 2009 9:40 AM
Hey guys,
So i just bought the m3 led side mirrors from eBay for my 03 cavi. They were 35 with shipping and look very stylish I think. I haven't hooked up the leds yet because they need to be spliced into the turn signals from the front, and I need longer wire to do that so I ordered some. They should've came with long wire, but didn't. So, keep that in mind if you plan on getting some. If you have one of those front fender turn signal lights, they could easily be spliced into those, but I didn't. Let me know what you think of the before and after.

Horrible fitment and say goodbye to actually having useful mirrors.

Shoulda stayed stock.

fitment just looks bad in the picture, it is fine. your right though i took it out today to test them out and theres like a dividing line in the middle that has a farther away and a closer view and when i look in the middle it divides the back road into two. i am asking for a refund from the guy so we will see. its not terrible like you cant use them, but the stock are much nicer to see out of. they do look tons better than the stock faded ones though.

They bunny ear alot man I know they touched my car for about 10 mins then got cut up and glassed to fit right and even then still sucked. So now they are sitting in my basement in a junk pile.

you know you can just polish and then wax the stock mirrors right? easy to do and makes a hell of a difference

i agree.. but the downside is.. the passanger side is to flat.. from being for japanese roads.. almost usless unless you sit far back enough ..

exactly, any sort of plastic polish will work..takes like 5 minutes for both

Like most everybody else, I had those same ones on for maybe ten minutes and decided the 45 degree angle didn't work and I needed to actually see out of them...

OT - Mothers Back to Black works great
