    i am not sure, but there are no aftermarket mirrors for 3Geez. everything else will need fabrication.

    Are you asking about the mirrors themselves or the whole side mirror assembly?

    I think he means the whole mirror assembly. But if you just mean the mirror, go to your local pep boys and ask for a new glass mirror, i forget the dimensions... but if they dont have them in stock just go to any glass cutting place in your area and have them custom make one for you, takes about 20 minutes, had one done myself.
    Thinking about getting a new 3g...

    I've said this in other threads, but here goes......

    My g/f got m3 style mirrors for her 4g and i compared the mounting bracket to the 3g one and it was REALLY close. Only about 1/4" off one corner needed to be taken off and it would fit perfectly. . . . . . .something to think about. I'll see if i can maybe get some pictures to illustrate it.

    ok so i went to the jy yesterday, sorry guys but the 4g mirrors are nowhere close to mounting the same as ours. Even worse is the fact that our power mirror harness wouldnt work, so that would have to be rewired.

    maybe like a 2nd gen teg, 3rd gen lude, 88-91 crx or civic might have some mirrors that might fit.

    ill check when i go back, i was kinda strapped for time. I couldnt find a 4g coupe, because the 4g coupe and sedan mirrors are different (according to cb7tuner) i was really excited about this too lol...

    You guys are pro racers or something?

    I don't think any streetable 3g would benefit from such mirrors. If you like the look go for it but I really don't think that the drag created by the mirror would do anything. Just fold them and you'll get the aerodynamics upgrade.
