I would love to buy it but I think my wife would flip out on me for spending $800 on side mirrors...

I don't like them. They seem too round. I love the "flat top" design of the mirrors already. Especially on the coupe.

If you are willing to spend 800 bucks on mirrors, you should have bought a nicer car in the first place.

What are the odds of these things coming down in price? I mean they look great, very mercedes, but there only side mirrors!

They should come down in price eventually. They make the prices so high at first because some idiots will pay it to be the first to have them. I like the turn signal in the mirror, especially since our turn signals are hard to see from the side to begin with, but I do like the shape of our stock mirrors a lot better.

I agree I think the stock mirrors look alot sportier, these look like they belong on the side of a mini-van or something. Different is not alwasy better. I'll spend the $800 on gas.

remember that the mirrors are 800 tack on another 125 for shipping that makes them close to a 1k you will need a 1k members to fork up 10 bucks............good luck! :naughty:

You need to work on your math. He'd be able to buy a couple of sets of mirrors if 1k members gave him 10 dollars each.

Also, the mirrors are for sale. They definitely are not on sale as the thread title states.

Why not get RL or TL mirrors?

My point exaclty. The RL mirrors fit the Accord assembly and look the same. If I get the accord that's what i'll be doing. (the greatest part is that they cost 100-200$)

If I were to get tl mirrors, how would I wire them so that the turn signals work?

The way for the price to come down, is if nobody bought them. Then the seller would just have to look at the stock collect dust. :D

I have talked to this guy... he seems aware now that his shipping and pricing is kind of high... but the dollar is very weak, so there ya go. I think that steering wheel is nice, not that I would use it but I would like to have it. For the sedan guys I have him checking on the rear valance... it may also fit a coupe, who knows till we try

also for the sedan guys go to the ebay link in the first page of this thread and go to view more items from this seller he's selling nice inspire headlights if i had a sedan id deff. buy them

I wonder if those lights would be legal here, with the blinker lens being white instead of yellow.

The way I would look this...

- what's the cost of color-matched OEM side-mirrors for a relevant USDM '08 Accord (ie. LX w/o heated-mirrors, EX/EX-L w/ heated-mirrors)... using online OEM Honda parts catalog, MSRP for an OEM '08 Accord EX mirror is ~$310/each!

- vehicles in RHD markets have different shaped side-mirrors vs. LHD markets (ie. shape/angle/orientation/concavity of actual mirror is different on the passenger side compared to driver side).

- look into TSX/TL/RL options from wreckers/salvagers/etc'... (in-fact, a late-model TL in San Antonio recently had it's side-mirrors "removed" and the owner posted on the local Craigslist to give a heads-up to other locals).

That's an excellent point. Otherwise, you may end up with concave driver's side mirror, wouldn't that be fun... I think if somebody is going to import a pair of mirrors, they better come from a LHD country -- ie. China, Thailand or the Philippines.

This mirror swap has been done for years by the JDM crowd, I really do not think it is any biggie. It's not something I would consider doing because I dont want to haul around more weight in the form of folding mechanisms.

I think if somebody is going to import a pair of mirrors, they better come from a LHD country -- ie. China, Thailand or the Philippines.If a mirror-swap is a simple plug-n-play, then that can be addressed as the replacement OEM mirrors are quite inexpensive (MSRP: $15/driver's, $19/passenger's).

Ex. swap the USDM-specific (L) mirror on the JDM/foreign (L) mirror-housing w/ the turn-signal lamp/lens, etc'...

It's not something I would consider doing because I dont want to haul around more weight in the form of folding mechanisms.Ditto! Also, less eletronics/complexity - the better as far as I'm concerned. Extra-bulbs, fuses, etc'... ehh', I'll pass. I already hate changing the bulbs on my side-markers, front bumper-lights, and license-plate lights whenever they 'burn' out and I need them functional for State vehicle inspection, etc'... :(

Keep in mind that the "objects or closer than they appear" printed on the mirror will be on the left side mirror as this was built other (non US) countries, they driver drives on the right hand side (backwards lol) over der!! LOL

Steering wheel that seller also offers with "wood accent" looks nice. Not too crazy about the mirrors, though, as they appear a bit bulky.

Like I had said in my previous thread I will see how much they REALLY go for in Asia and report back my findings. $800 is just pure theft in my opinion.

As far as taking RL or TL side mirrors, they are NOT the same and do NOT use the same housing as the Accord. If they were we wouldn't be discussing using JDM mirrors. You can try making them fit but that would require alot of trial and error that I just am not willing to go through.

As far as color, the black and white are exactly the same just different name so I will be good in that respect. For the silver, PMM, red and blues... I just dont know for sure.

Osiris_x11
06-23-2008, 12:00 PM
I'm wondering if the outer-shell w/ the turn-signal lens of the JDM side-mirror can be acquired separately and simply swapped onto the existing USDM side-mirror (along w/ the 'internal' turn-signal lamp)?

Looking at the Honda OEM parts schematic, components of the side-mirror can be purchased separately.

Yes the Honda mirror cover can be purchased seperately. But while in our honda the only colored piece is the cover (everything else is black plastic), for the inspire and RL and TL, there is no cover you can purchase seperately because the whole assembly is color-coded.

another reason i like these mirrors no black plastic makes the car look more luxurious..

Stock mirrors have much nicer shape, but I do like the turn signals and possible motorized folder in feature. Definitely too expensive right now. If they drop in half, I may consider them...

They are headed and have tilt motor. Still WAY too expensive for the average Accordian...If i were to get it i would have to be $150 or less.

taffwh2008sedan

And how are you supposed to make that feature work when our cars don't have the supporting hardware?
